Geocache Description:


Black & White
a Color Theory Cache
DO NOT go to the posted coordinates or any of the listed points. They are only for reference in figuring out the puzzle.

Color is a beautiful thing… all around us in the world… making it a wonderful and interesting place to live. Most of my favorite caching locations have been full of color… both subtle and explosive. This series of caches highlights color… its usefulness and beauty in our lives.

This cache is in appreciation for the beautiful colorless colors - black and white. Black contains either all or none of the colors depending on whether you're talking about additive or subtractive color systems. The same goes for white! They're two sides of the same coin.

Despite their rather unexciting appearance these two colors are probably the ones that are seen and used more than any others that we have at our disposal. Part of this is because producing them in physical media is cheaper than producing most other colors. The other reason is that both colors are capable of both standing out distinctly in contrast to other colors and yet matching them at the same time.

Time to go. Good luck!

Check Your Solution
You can check your answers for this puzzle at GeoChecker.com. Because rounding calculations can give slightly different answers to the final coordinates… the GeoChecker is "fuzzy"… meaning that if your coordinates are within about 25 feet… it will call you close enough.
Congratulations to C3GPS for being first to sign the log!

Note: Since the hiding spot seems insecure and keeps being muggled… I have replaced it with a smaller one a couple of feet higher.
