The above coordinates are not the cache location.
Codes, Ciphers, Rhymes, Riddles, Puzzles, Brainteasers and Math. To all of you Geocachers that have driven me crazy with those devious caches, well this is your payback. What most people do not know is that a famous scientist loved puzzles. His friends and other scientists would send him problems, riddles, brainteasers, etc. to solve. HE decided to come up with one of his own that he sent to all his colleagues. He estimated that only 2% of the people could solve it. Can You? Are you a 2%’er? ‘Revenge is best when served up cold!’ (Quote Dr. Evil).

I highly recommend walking the whole 4 mile Laurel Ridge Trail, it's a truly beautiful area. Check out the dam and the goats behind the fence too.
You will be looking for a 50 cal. Ammo Can hidden in a park that is open from 8am to 10pm [this may change to 5pm in the Fall]. Important: This cache is located on Corps of Engineers property. From time to time they close the parking due to security alerts. If the area is closed, do not try and find this cache. Wait until the area is reopened.
