Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. THE COORDINATES ABOVE ARE A MEANINGLESS LOCATION LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE ACTUAL CACHE.

THIS IS A SEQUENCE I HAVE BEEN HOLDING ON TO FOR A WHILE. NOW I AM TURNING IT INTO A PUZZLE TO SOLVE FOR THE COORDINATES TO THE CACHE.

 


FIND THE NEXT NUMBER IN THE SEQUENCE BELOW. THEN, USE THE DIGITS OF THE ANSWER TO CALCULATE THE FINAL COORDINATES. THIS IS NOT EASYdevil(UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE!)

There is a steep climb at the cache location, with very rough terrain. Poisonous plants, animals and thorns are possible. Please be prepared for these challenges.

HAVE FUN!

FINAL COORDINATES:  N 35 28. 9 X Y   W 084  44. 4 Z 0

X = d+e+f+g           Y = (a*2)-b            Z =  m-n
