The posted coordinates are for the Post Office. To calculate the coordinates for the cache, you must enter the Post Office and look at the Grid of P.O. Boxes. The cache itself is NOT in or next to the building. The cache will be within walking distance or only a short drive from the Post Office.
The Post Office lobby is open Mon-Sat 5:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Closed Sunday and Holidays.
This Post Office has just one Grid. A Grid has rows of boxes that run from left to right and columns that run from top to bottom. The P.O. Boxes at the bottom of the grid are usually bigger than the boxes at the top. Thus the columns will not lineup across the entire grid. There will be more columns on the top of the Grid and less along the bottom of the Grid.
Row: Starting at the upper left corner of the Grid and counting from top to bottom, the top Row is 1 the next Row down is 2 and continuing on to the bottom of the Grid.
Column: Counting from left to right, the leftmost box is Column 1 and the next box from the left is Column 2 and continuing on to the right of the Grid. Warning, Row 1 will probably have more Columns than Row 5, so be sure to be counting across in the correct row (That is why I gave you the Row number before the Column number).
All that is left is to plug in the P.O. Box number that is at that particular spot on the Grid into the puzzle below.
Using (Row:Column) format, plug in your numbers and do the math.
N 41° 45.0 [R7:C22] - [R1:C51]
W 077° 18.0 [R4:C16] - [R1:C21]
The cache: You are looking for a small pill bottle. BYOP.
I would like to give credit to the first "P.O. Box" cache in this series GC1BF0T . I would also like to thank a more local cacher, golfer89, for bringing the series closer to home.
Congratulations to A2G for FTF!
