This cache has been archived.

Wis Kid: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Waypoint #1:
N42 47.107
W087 50.369
W = ?

Waypoint #2:
N42 47.0WW
W087 50.264

Use the following formulas to help you.

F = Y
R = X
O = [(Y*Y) – (Y*Z)]/2
G = Z

R = X
I = [Z*6]/10
B = [(W*Y) – 1]/4
T = X*Z + Y
