Geocache Description:

The cache is located in Lock Ridge Park which is in Alburtis, PA. There are two parking lots, but use these coordinates for parking your car, N40°30.574 / W75°35.663 which you can enter from Church Street. The park hours are from sunrise to sunset. The museum is open from May to September on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

This is a very easy multi-cache and should take only one hour from the time you start until you are back to your car, unless you visit the ruins or enjoy a picnic at one of the parks picnic tables. There may be poison ivy or sticker bushes to contend with, so be careful.

Both the first cache and the second cache are coffee cans with another container inside to keep the information dry. The final cache is in a larger trading container.

There will be multiple choice math questions that you must answer in order to get the coordinates to find each cache. The math problems will be multiplication and division of decimals, so be prepared.

To get the coordinates for the first cache, find the correct answer to the math problem . Then use the coordinates to the right of the answer for the seconds in the latitude.
((985 x 16)/(40 x .125))/2
A= 39400 _ _ _ _493
B= 6304 _ _ _ _ 487
C= 3152 _ _ _ _ 491
D= 1576 _ _ _ _ 489
E= 24.625 _ _ _ 495

The first cache is at N 40°30._ _ _ W 075°35.553

To start at the parking lot, face the ruins.
Then walk on the macadam path to your left. You can leave the macadam path when you see the cross on a tree on your left.
Take 15 steps to the right off the macadam and stop.
Turn left. You can almost see the spot where the first cache is hidden.
Good luck.
