Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.  THEY ARE BOGUS AND IN THE LAKE! YOU WILL GET WET IF YOU GO HERE

 

This is a puzzle cache and you must solve the following to get the true cache coordinates.  It will provide you the opportunity to show that you can talk in metrics.  You will convert our American lengths to the equivalent metric lengths.

 

 
N  35  17.ABC
W 093  08.XYZ
 
First, ABC is the number of meters in 738 feet.  Round to the nearest full number.
 
Second, XYZ is the number of kilometers in 559.8 miles. Again round to the nearest full number.
 
When we were in Canada, everything was in metric, including the temperature, and speed limits.  So, how fast can you go if the speed limit is 110 kilometers per hour? And if it is 30 degrees C, do you need a winter coat or shorts on?

 

Check sum when you add the 6 new numbers together is 1.

 

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE WITHIN 30 FEET OF THIS LOCATION. DO NOT PARK ON PARKWAY NOR PHOENIX. That would be a long walk. Bring your own writing instrument, as there is no room in the container for one. Please log anything interesting you see while finding this cache. We just saw a jeep with 4 kids in it leaving the area after playing in the mud, as we performed maintenance on this cache. Your log entry on the Geocaching website is our only reward for hiding this cache. THE CACHE IS NOT NEAR THE RAILROAD TRACKS. PLEASE DO NOT WANDER NEAR THEM

This is Arkansas so please use caution at certain times of the year since we do have snakes, ticks, chiggers, skeeters, and poison ivy.... just to mention a few of the things that could make your day miserable.
