Geocache Description:


***The Above Cords Are Not The Cache***

This a simple little cache at the I-475 Rest Area. Designed for those of you who are traveling as a little stretch break on your trip. The Rest Area is on the Northbound side of 475 so those of you on the Southbound side can hit the cache on your way back or get off at Exit 5 and get back on. Then go back up to Exit 9 to get back on SB after stopping for the cache.
The posted cords are for parking and to mark the rest area.

To get the cords you are going to need a map of the state of Georgia.
For the latitude: 1. Write down the numbers of all the interstates that pass through or are in Georgia. 2. Add the interstate numbers together (i.e.. 75+475+....). 3. Add 47395 to the sum from #2. This new number is AA.AAA.
For the longitude: 1. Add up the numbers of the Spur Interstates in Georgia. 2. Add up the numbers of the By-pass Interstates in Georgia. 3. Subtract the By-pass number from the Spur number. 4. Add 43784 to the resulting number. This new number is BB.BBB.

Now just sub in the numbers for the A's and B's.
N   32° AA.AAA
W083° BB.BBB

The cache is a film canister with a log sheet and pencil. The cache is too small for anything else so please don't leave any trade goods.
