Geocache Description:

These are not the real coordinates of the cache.  I wouldn't go poking around here, what with all the razor wire and security cameras.  


It was business as usual at Nifty’s Bread and Baked Goods Bakery, until Nifty came in and called a special meeting of the bakers. “Folks,” he said, “I’ve got a vision.” We’re going to revolutionize the pie industry with my new recipe.” “What is it?” asked Bob. “Pickle Pie!” said Nifty. “Pickle pie?” Bob asked and raised his eyebrows. “Yup,” Nifty replied. “I’ve been fine-tuning my recipe until the ingredients in the recipe coordinate perfectly with the ratio of the circumference and diameter of the pie pan. I even bought a new display case for them. It will hold 36 pies, 6 by 6 in rows/columns.” Nifty handed Bob the recipe and walked away leaving Bob to wonder if Nifty had lost his mind for real this time.
