Half a PI
A circle with an area of 1/2 PI square kilometers would have a
radius of just over 707 meters, so at 700 meters, our circle is
"Just Shy" of "Half a PI" square kilometers in area.
Yep, you'll need a little math and command of your GPSr to find
this!
The posted coordinates represent the center of a circle with a
radius of 700 meters. The cache is placed along the perimeter of
the circle in the crotch of a tree about 2 meters off the ground.
Go find it!

OK, for those of you that aren't up for a little circular stroll
in the woods, I've placed a few clues to help you out. These clues
take the form of bright yellow flags coded with an identifier or
blue aluminum forestry tags. The clues are placed where the circle
intersects with natural or man-made paths; streets, trails,
streams, etc. I've placed 3 such clues to start, if it goes too
long with no finds I'll post more ... if many people find one clue
too often it may disappear :) Watch the box for updates if you're
watching this cache.
The clues are in the open, placed at eye level and except for
seasonal foliage should be easy to locate. Each clue, references a
distance along the perimeter (in meters) of the circle to the
cache. Each clue will provide 2 answers, so you'd need to find 2
clues to remove all doubt about the cache location; or be a little
more adventurous and be willing to check out two locations from one
clue.
Take note of the terrain rating ... you might need to prepare
more than your mind for this one.
