Geocache Description:

NOTE WELL This trail has undergone serious cut back in preparation for further development as an extension of the Auburn trail. On 4/10/17, I relocated the cache container a little further off the trail and updated the coordinates accordingly. To complete your solution, solve the puzzle below. Once done subtract 11 from the latitude and subtract 16 from the longitude to find the updated cache location.

Dust off those high school math books and get yourself a calculator that can handle a lot of digits. This cache is an equal opportunity for all denominators (and numerators).  In the fractions presented there are NO addition or subtraction operations.  Everything is either a division or multiplication.  A 'dot' between two fractions means multiply.

You will be walking a little used and undeveloped portion of the Auburn Trail in Victor. The trail head is on a VERY busy road so safe parking is a little ways away. You're looking for a well hidden micro at the solved puzzle coordinates
