This is one of a series of caches placed along the Little Miami Scenic Trail (LMST).
I decided on this cache's name because while I was placing the final stage, I saw a southern flying squirrel glide from one tree to another. As these mammals are nocturnal, I was lucky to have seen it. It was dusk out when I placed the cache, so if you're going after this cache around dusk, keep your eyes open, and you might catch a glimpse of Ohio's most-abundant (but seldom-seen) squirrel!
Southern Flying Squirrel
The first stage of this two-stage multi-cache brings you to a speed limit sign facing the Little Miami Scenic Trail. The sign has been removed and not replaced, so I'm telling you that the speed limit was 20 on the sign that was here.
The speed limit is a two-digit number. Let A be the tens digit and B be the ones digit. Then use those values below to find the final stage coordinates.
The coordinates for the final stage are:
North 39° 23.B[A+A]4 and West 084° 5.[A+A+B][A+A]8
The checksum (add up all of the individual digits) for the North digits is 25, and the checksum for the West digits is 33.
