Geocache Description:

Geocache is NOT at posted coordinates!

It's my birthday!

And since giving is better than receiving, I'm giving you all the gift of a geocache!


To hide my gift to you, I used a riddle based on my current age. To find this birthday gift, you'll need to solve a riddle:

1. Start with your current age. 

2. Add to your current age the age you will be after your next birthday.

3. Add 9 to your total.

4. Divide your total by 2.

5. Subtract your current age from your total.

6. Your answer is now known as x and the cache can be found at:

N 41° 49.0[x+2][7-x] W 090 15.[7-x][x][8-x]

Oh, and about the cache? It was a gift at an event. Only one person saw what I got. I guess that will be my gift to that one person!
