Geocache Description:

*** THE PHYSICAL CONTAINER IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.  ***

The cache is located within the Michigan Department of Transporation, Roadside Park, in Acme, MI, honoring Lawrence Gilroy.

Parents there is a busy highway nearby so please be mindful of your kiddos.


Today is your lucky day to play with Pi.  If you're not a fan of math have no fear as this will be an easier puzzle to solve.  This is a projection cache (stop your booing and hissing) so get your brains tuned up.  The distance is the first three digits of Pi (in reverse order) entered as yards.  The bearing with be the next three consecutive digits (in normal order).  Once you compute that info, it is a short walk from the parking area to the final.  You do not need to get your feet wet unless you really want to.

Watch out for muggles and we would not recommend trying this cache around sunset (it's a popular spot when the white stuff is gone). This is a seasonal park; however, MDOT and county snow plow trucks frequent this site during winter months.

The cache should be winter friendly so no need to mess with the dead stuff at ground level. Use a light touch while searching for the cache (see the hint) and try to replace the cache as found. Please roll the log and place into the cap prior to screwing the container back together: it will be a snug fit. There is a small pencil inside if you need it.

We hope you enjoy searching for this cache as much as we enjoyed hiding it.
