Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. You must solve the puzzle to get the final coordinates. Please bring your own pen or pencil. The first to find will get a shiny one dollar gold coin.


The digital root (also repeated digital sum) of a number is the (single digit) value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum. The process continues until a single-digit number is reached.

Simply, to find the digital root of a number, you take a number and add up all it's individual digits. If the sum is more than one digit, you add those digits together until you have a single-digit number.

For example, the digital root of 11 is 2 because 1+1= 2
The digital root of 123 is 6 because 1+2+3 = 6

Find the digital root of 234567; 2+3+4+5+6+7= 27

The digital root must be a single digit, therefore you must again add the digits of 27 together.
2+7 = 9
Making 9 the digital root of 234567
