Geocache Description:

Don't Drop It #2 Haiku:

Three signs, number clues
One waypoint coordinates
And Ground Zero too

~Mrs. WattsThat


The cache is not at the posted coordinates!

This is #2 in a series of nano caches placed in precarious positions to promote picturesque Philly places.  Don't drop it, cause if you drop it, it's gone! (or quite difficult to retrieve)

The hike will take about 15 minutes to complete. This cache is also available during winter, since this trail is used for cross-country skiing.

To find Ground Zero, you first need to find the Waypoint.  Here are the three clues to use, based on your surroundings near the posted coordinates:

  • CLUE #1: FlexNet Model ###Xz
  • CLUE #2:  Sign on pole reading ####
  • CLUE #3:  Electrical box with sign reading ### Volts

Waypoint #1 coordinates: N39 59.ABC, W075 12.DEF

To find N:
A. Clue #3, second digit
B. Clue #3, first digit
C. Clue #3, third digit
Then subtract 2 from ABC 

To find W:
D. Clue #1, second digit
E. Clue #3, third digit
F. Clue #2, third digit 

Ground Zero coordinates:  N 39 59.###, W075 12.###

To find N:
Add 60 to your Waypoint coords.

To find W:
Add 96 to your Waypoint coords.

Enjoy the hike, and remember:  Don't drop it!
