a Geometry for Cachers Cache

Your seventh test is to find the center of The Pentagon. No… not THAT Pentagon. You probably wouldn't have much luck getting in there. But at the center of the equilateral pentagon defined by the five points below… you will find the cache you are looking for. The five points of The Pentagon are:
