Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it's close by. Please park at noted parking for the trail. Please be gentle with the container. Bring your own pen.
Solve the simple puzzle below to find correct coordinates. 

Remember your favorite cache? Choose one. Maybe it was your first. Maybe it was a milestone. Maybe it was in a special place or unusual date or with a special someone. Maybe you don't have a single favorite. Choose one. Write down its GC-code and name and include them in your log.

THE PUZZLE

Latitude (north) is N 40 02.(last three digits) found by
1: Count the number of punctuation marks in this cache's name. That is the first digit of the last three digits of latitude.
2: If you turn around (for example, north to south), how many degrees will you turn? That is A.
3: Count the number of characters in the GC-code for your cache. That is N.
4: Multiply N by 2. Add A to that result. Divide that result by 2. Subtract N from that result. That result is the last two digits of latitude.

Longitude (west) is W 76 30.(last three digits) found by
1: Count the number of characters in this cache's GC-code. That is S.
2: Suppose A = 1, B = 2, ... What is the value of the first character of your cache's GC-code? That is W.
3: Multiply W by 100 and add S to it. Those three digits are the last three digits of the longitude (west).

To summarize: N 40 02.lat   W 76 30.long
