Digital Communication Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

witzend: Alas, all good things must come to an end. This was my very first cache placement, and it has survived through 2 different containers and various adversities for quite some time.

Now that this property has been sold, and I see signs of construction equipment showing up, I have archived this cache before it is either inaccessible, or completely destroyed. It was nice while it lasted.

It's also a little sad to see this once proud facility come to its end, but nothing is eternal on this earth, is it?

Geocache Description:

Easy access.

The above coordinates are for a location where people sometimes communicate with their digits, but we're talking about a different kind of communication here. :-)

We're talking about digital communication in terms of computers. As you probably know, computers use a binary language composed of ones and zeros to do things and talk to other computers. I like binary. (Yes, I'm a geek.) Binary is simple. Yes or no. On or off. Nothing in between. If only life were that simple. Your job is to convert the binary below to the normal decimal coordinates that we all know and love. The final cache is easy to get to, but may be difficult to find. The container is a little hard to close, so please make sure it shuts tightly to protect the log from the elements. I'm a member here, and the cache was placed with the permission of the manager. You are looking for a micro. The log is on "Rite in the Rain" paper, so it should hold up OK. Depending on time of day, it can be quite busy here, so as always, be "muggle-wary" Oh, and it's a BYOP (Bring Your Own Pencil)
