Geocache Description:


THE ACTUAL CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The actual cache is located within two miles of the posted coordinates.  Once the clues are solved it should be a pretty easy find.  FTF gets $1.00.  That's all I could think of.

Some stealth is required.  The original container got busted up so I replaced it with a smaller, sturdier, one. There is no longer any room for SWAG or trackables and you will need to bring your own writing instrument.

Have fun.

 

The actual coordinates are:

N A.B.CDE
W F.G.HIJ

Where:

A:  Rounded to whole degrees, the angle at which red light reflects off of water to make a rainbow.
B:  Saros number of the lunar eclipse series starting –1217 June 21 and ending 0081 Aug 08.
C:  The number of types of quarks in the Standard Model of particle physics.
D:  The number of Lagrange points in a two body system.
E:  The Messier Number of the Butterfly Cluster.

F:  Atomic number of Seaborgium.
G:  Width of the Arecibo message.
H:  The maximum number of electrons that can occupy the L shell.
I:  -459.67 °F = I °Ra.
J:  Average distance between the Earth and the Sun in Astronomical Units.
