Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are for a trail head to a wooded path in Persimmon Ridge park. You will be required to solve a puzzle and walk about a mile to get the answers needed, find the cache and then return. The trail is fairly gentle most of the way, but steep at each end. So some climbing will be required either way.

The park is open from dawn til dusk.

Originally when this trail was made the intent was for it to be interpretive, but only five numbered posts are in place now. Find these posts and plug the numbers in below to find the final coordinates. You will have to walk the length of Luke's trail to find all five. The coordinates are listed, but they are easily found along the trail.

 Interpretive Post coords:
a (N 36 17.298 W 082 29.918)
b (N 36 17.267 W 082 29.868)
c (N 36 17.224 W 082 29.915)
d (N 36 17.131 W 082 30.067)
f (N 36 17.029 W 082 30.131)

n = c - b - a
x = d + a
y = c - b
z = f - d

Final Coords:
17.nx5 30.yz4


No need to leave the trail until you are ~100 feet from GZ. Muggles will come through occasionally on most days. Please be discrete.
Cache is a lock n lock container with trade items and a few travel bugs. Please trade up or even. There is a disposable camera as well. Please take a picture of yourself and I will post the pictures once the roll runs out.

Please replace cache where you found it and cover it as good or better than you found it.

FTF honors go to Gargamouse!
