This cache, since it is designed around our beloved Panther and
his love of the stars, is centered around a lot of unnecessary
math. You expected any less from 3 college graduates of the core
sciences? Be sure to use base 10 numbers! None of that crazy
hexadecimal or binary. Remember to Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally
(PEMDAS)! If you don't know what that means, you may want to
reconsider this cache or at least
read about it.
FIRST LEG
"The info here is true blue."
X = 966 - (1891 -
charterYear)
Y = 100 + (2058 -
locatedHereSinceYear)
N 40 28.X
W 80 01.Y
SECOND LEG
"Use the date located on the left of the "HL" sign."
C = 28.X + ( (2015 -
yearOnLeft) ÷ 1000 )
D = 01.Y - 0.122
N 40 C
W 80 D
THIRD LEG
"Count the posts encircling this area (just the short wooden
ones.)"
E = ( (numberOfPosts x 486 ) - 5
) ÷ 1000
F = ( (numberOfPosts x 20 ) + 5 )
÷ 1000
Your final cache coordinates are:
N 40 E
W 80 F
NOTE: Please be careful when searching for this
cache. Some of the terrain may be slippery in the winter months so
you may want to consider it a 4 rating if there is snow. The
current ratings were taken from ClayJar's site. You can be spotted
from several trails when at the final cache location. Please be
sure to hide the container EXACTLY as you found it. You can do the
first three legs of this cache in the car or walk it along the
beautiful park trails.
