Geocache Description:

A fun and scientific puzzle geocache in a popular local park.

This cache involves chemistry, science and, overall, an understanding of the Periodic Table of Elements. The cache is NOT placed at the initial coordinates -- those bring you to a place to park. You must refer to the atomic numbers of certain elements in the Periodic Table (below) to solve for the final coordinates using these formulas:

N coordinate is 47 37.XXX, where:
XXX = GeO + MgO

W coordinate is 122 03.YYY, where:
YYY = (CaCHe / NeGa) * HeS

This cache is dedicated to nearby Margaret Mead Elementary School, of which I am a former student!
