Geocache Description:

This will not be your common hunt. the cache is not at the above coordinates. Where is it? You'll just have to find out!

You are standing at the edge of a road before a small brick building and a small geologic feature. Go ahead, have some. It’s good. Somewhere nearby is another one. I like the other better. Precisely between them is an object. You know what it is? Good! Run that through the standard geocaching encryption code. Now, what would be the scrabble value of that word? Ok good, but we need to play with that number a little. Separate those numerals and insert the numeral 3 between them. Remove the numeral from the far left and put it next to the others on the right. Sorry about this but math isn’t one of my strong points.

Now that you have that number you need to add it to the last three digits of the coordinates of that object. Or was that subtract? I don’t remember. But I do know that it was only one of the two coordinates, so you really only have four choices, not eight. Three of them are wrong. Some of those three are *obviously* wrong.

Although this cache has already been field tested, there are many places where inaccuracy can come into this, and they do add up, so if you need help, email me and I’ll tell you if you are on track or not. Enjoy the hunt!

Please feel free to post notes telling all of your progress(without giving any spoilers of course) No-finds are only appropriate once you've got the 'tudes and are looking for the cache itself, and of course signing the logbook is the criteria for a 'find' But mostly, have fun!
