Geocache Description:


As you know, the Autobot Transformers are always on the run from the evil Decepticons. They often need to create makeshift bases/forts/camps/shelters in the middle of the forest to evade detection. This series is designed to take you to some of their forgotten 'hideouts'...



The posted coordinates mark the location of an Autobot Hideout. You must observe it in order to determine the coordinates of a hidden Energon cube located at:
N 45° 19.6(B)0' W 075° 56.(A+C)(D-2)7'

A = If you were to be 'in' the hideout, which direction would you exit at. A = 3 for North-West or A = 4 for South-East

B = 3 if this hideout has a fireplace that could be used to cook food or 4 if it doesn't.

C = 2 if this hideout has no roof, or 3 if it has a roof (or at least something that would provide a small bit of cover from above.

D = 5 if this hideout is square/rectangular in structure or 3 if it is triangular (ex: if looking from the side, you should be able to tell if the structure is triangular or square...)


The Decepticons destroyed the Autobot Hideout since this cache was posted. Therefore to make it easier to solve, see the following picture of the Autobot Hideout (hint: you can't tell from the picture, but it exits north-west and also had a small fire pit)
