The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Do not go there. You must solve the puzzle below to get the actual coordinates. Will need to BYOP.
Linda (L) is half as old as Zane (Z), but is nine years older than Pablo (P). In six years, Zane will be three times as old as Pablo. What is each person's age now?
To find the actual latitude add ((L * 14) + (P * 7) + (13 * Z) - 1) / 1000 to the posted latitude minutes. To find the actual longitude subtract ((L * 33) + (P * 3) + (Z * 33) + 1) / 1000 from the posted longitude minutes.
You must start the hunt from one of the two parking areas. The cache is located somewhere along the Orchard Pond Trail. It cannot be reached from the Orchard Pond Parkway toll road itself. The west side trail head is a short drive down the Orchard Pond dirt road from Old Bainbridge Road and has parking for cars and horse trailers. If you approach the cache from this direction, be advised that at the time of placement, water covered about 100 feet of the beginning of the trail, but by careful walking, the tops of my boots stayed dry. Your experience may vary, however, depending on whether it has rained recently. The east side parking area is a paved lot off the Orchard Pond Parkway toll road for cars only. No toll is required if you come to the east side parking lot from the Old Bainbridge Road direction. Toll will be required if coming from North Meridian Road. Cache approved by Leon County Parks and Recreation.
