Geocache Description:

The Coordinates above are false.
Please choose a parking spot wisely and don't park in someone's drive way or along the road, there is an obvoius place.

This is a puzzle cache based on understanding number systems. If you understand the relationship between Binary, Hex, and Decimal this will be a walk in the park. If you don't understand those relationships yet prepare to learn something. The cache is a shoe-box sized plastic container that will be a short walk from your car. Please verify your coordinates with the hint before going after the cache.

I found a web site that will be very helpful to you if you don't already know Binary and Hex. If you don't understand decimal yet this may not be the cache for you. ;)
Base 10, Base 2, and Base 16

You may also need an Ascii Table

In order to get the cache coordinates you will need to do the following.

Convert Base 2 to Base 10
Convert Base 10 to Ascii (Then drop the brackets)
Convert Base 16 to Base 10
Then check your coordinates against the hint.

Please do these conversions by hand if you're not already familiar with them, I'd really like someone to learn something from this cache. If you have trouble just e-mail me and I'll try to get you un-stuck.
