Now for the Cache:


 

 

You WILL need to go to the posted coordinates on FM 1097, however, DO NOT STOP OR SLOW DOWN.

 

Approaching the posted coordinates from either direction, you will travel across Lake Conroe on the FM 1097 bridge.  As you drive on the bridge, your tires will make a "ba-bump" sound as you cross each section of the bridge.

You will need to count the number of "ba-bumps" and use that number to determine the final coordinates as follows:

N30 (# of ba-bumps - 58).(# of ba-bumps + 694)

 

W095 (# of ba-bumps - 48).(# of ba-bumps + 117)

 

 

Enjoy the view as you cross the bridge as many times as needed if you lose count of the ba-bumps!

 

 

NOTE: To confirm your solved coordinates, use the Solution checker below.
