In these changing times, its nice to know some things remain constant. This cache is hidden on Constant Lake, but you will need to probe the depths of science to find it!
The coordinates listed for the cache are actually a rustic boat launch used by the locals to get onto Constant Lake, next to the historic water powered saw mill of Balaclava. The cache is a short paddle or boat trip from here. You will need to find Planck's and Boltzmann's constants to decipher the actual cache location. Suppose that:
- Boltzmann's is A.BCDE x 10-23 J/K
- and that Planck's is F.FGF x 10-34 Js
- and surely we all know pi to be B.AHAIJ
You then arrange the letters like this to get the actual coordinates for the cache:
N - HI deg GB.IEB min
W - EF deg IC.DDA min
The original contents of the cache were:
- 10 ft of nylon rope - key chain thermometer
- small candle - polished amethyst
- sunglasses - Curious George phone book
- screw driver - Orwell's Animal Farm
- Rubik puzzle - waterproof matches
- flashlight - light stick
- emergency blanket - insulated mug
- disposable camera to log visitors
