There is absolutely nothing wrong with the coordinates above. In fact, they are quite intentionally and precisely placed in the middle of a busy intersection. However, if you want to find this cache, I don't recommend going there; I suggest solving the puzzle in the cache description below instead.
That being said, the cache is within 3.14159265359... km of the posted coordinates.
Happy Pi Day!
March 14. The date when it's most cool to be a geek. The date when irrationality is a most respected quality. The date when friends gather together for no other reason but to celebrate their most favorite transcendental number and Albert Einstein's birthday.
The day (3/14) is known as Pi Day (3.14) by math enthusiasts around the world and is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant p (pi), the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi is transcendental and irrational and its decimal places go on infinitely. Pi Day was founded in 1988 by Larry Shaw, an employee of the San Francisco science museum, the Exploratorium.

This year's offering is probably the easiest one yet. Simply go to the link below and solve the jigsaw puzzle to obtain the true coordinates and a hint for the final location. The container is a unique creation made specifically for this occasion. The actual log container is small and has no room for a pen, trackables, or swag.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey, or the location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single-word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but they don't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travel Bug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for Travel Bugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache, PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before “grabbing” the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
