Geocache Description:

The coordinates above are not the coordinates of this cache. They provide a good starting point and indication of the area in which the cache is located. This cache is the first in a series of three caches, each of which are separately loggable. The coords to the second cache, known as "Gassed on 8040" are found in this cache.

Cache container is a small plastic peanut butter jar with a few exchange goodies. You can park within 50 ft of the cache, but this is a well used area and you may have to use stealth, particularly on weekends. Please be sure the cache is as well or better hidden as you found it.To determine the actual coordinates for this cache, calculate the average of the lattitudes and longitudes of the eleven prior Oly Sidewinder caches (all of which were placed in the year 2003). Then ignoring the degrees, halve the average lattitude and add .077, and double the average longitude and add .019. Add the degree numbers back in at the end. (11-27-08: Minor change made to longitude correction factor to take into account a minor coordinate change made on one of the factored caches)
