Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the above coordinates. The cache container is a medium waterproof container with a log and some swag.

The listed coordinates will take you to the Boyers Sportsmen's Club. It's a large-ish building right next to Issacco Lane. On the front of the building is a large mural  depicting plants and wildlife found in Pennsylvania.  While viewing the mural you will have to answer the questions below and do some basic math to determine the final coordinates.

Please do not post a photo of the mural with your log.

The final coordinates are:
N 041° 06.ABC
W 079° 56.DEF

A = # of rocks MINUS # of fish in the mural (results in an even #)
B = # of words in the center of the mural
C = # of times the Pennsylvania Keystone is in the mural
D = # of deer in the mural
E = # of animals in the mural that AREN'T birds
F = # of the deer's antler points MINUS the # of pinecones

The physical cache is located about 2 miles away at the Boyers Sportsmen's Dam in Boyers, PA. Although the dam and clubhouse are private property, permission has been granted to hide and seek the mural/cache by the president of the organization.

Parking for both parts are located right by the mural and cache. Muggles might be around and the cache site can also be pretty soupy/muddy. Please wear appropriate footwear. Please camouflage the cache well when you put it back.

Lot's of good swag await you! Don't forget to nab 'That Dam Cache' while you're in the area too! Congratulations to the McMartin's for the FTF!
