Welcome to the Math Madness at Mud Creek cache. I hope you enjoy this cache as much as I did trying to do the math to make it.

This cache is what you could call a mathematical cache. In order to get the coordinates to this cache, you simply need to do the two math problems. The key is to make sure that you add and subtract correctly, or your coordinates could be severely off. It would be a good idea to do the math problems two or three times to ensure you have the correct answers. The coordinates provided above are to the parking lot of a softball complex (two on the north end). The cache is near this location. You will be looking for a small ziplock container (about the size of...you guessed it...a softball). The area could be muddy, especially after a rain, so be prepared. Put on your thinking caps, and make sure your calculator has fresh batteries.

Instruction: You will start with the top number (under NORTH and under WEST). The number below that number will have either a (+) to add, or a (-) to subtract that number. The numbers you end up with will be the numbers for the coordinates of the cache.
