Geocache Description:


After finding one of our caches along Barr Trail, a caching friend joked in his log that the cache should have been the first cache in a new Ferrous series.  We thought starting such a series was a great idea.  Therefore, this is the first (of hopefully many) caches in our new "Ferrous" series.  This cache is hidden off of the Santa Fe Trail.

 

The cache is NOT hidden at the posted coordinates.  Solve the following puzzle to determine where the cache is hidden.

 

Find the fraction hidden on this cache page.  Convert this fraction to a decimal.  Add the first three digits to the right of the decimal point to both the latitude and longitude of the posted coordinates.  The resulting coordinates are where you should go look for the cache.  Good luck!

 

Congratulations to brennan7 for FTF and to kenyansherpa for a close STF!!!
