Geocache Description:

Use clues found in the provided parking, follow paved path across bridge and follow trails. Difficulty 3 because of the math.

It's imperative that you approach this cache from the
provided parking area for your own safety and to preserve
the area. Towards this end, the cache coordinates
are determined from hints found in the parking lot.

Go to N38 55.909 W094 37.315
Count the number of handicap parking logos
(person in a wheelchair) you see in the immediate
area. This is not a trick question so don't make
it harder than it is. That number is B in the equation.

Go to N38 55.841 W094 37.139 and count the number
of words on the big wooden sign. Abreviations (like 7AM)
count as one word. That number is A.

The cache is at N38 55.X W094 37.0Y (give or take 16')
where X = A^2 - 19B - 1 and Y = B^2 - 1
(updated on 1/24/05)
If you haven't taken 7th grade algebra yet, A^2 is the
same as A times A and 19B means 19 times B.

Park your car in the space provided.
You will look less conspicuous if you are riding a
mountain bike or are pretending to take pictures of
mountain bike riders or each other. Please be
inconspicuous when you approach the coordinates
and re-hide the cache well since 2
geocaches in this park were lost/stolen.
