Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are those of a free public parking lot. In this puzzel cache you will find the two landmarks pictured below and measure their coordinates. From those coordinates the Latitude and Longitude of the main cache will be calculated.

The two landmarks pictured below are found south of the parking lot within two and a quarter blocks on Jefferson. Carefully measure the coordinates of the landmarks shown in Picture 1 and Picture 2. You may want to take the average of several readings to reduce the error.

PICTURE 2

PICTURE 1 LATITUDE_____________

PICTURE 2 LONGITUDE____________

Calculate the Latitude of the main cache: Subtract the offset .787 from the minutes Latitude of Picture 1.

____________-.787 = _______________

Calculate the Longitude of the main cache: Add the offset .322 to the minutes of the Longitude of Picture 2.

____________ + .322 = ______________

Final Cache Coordinates: N 42 _________ W 083 __________

The main cache is located in a public park. As you probably notice, it is about mile from the parking lot to the main cache so you probably want to drive to a closer spot.

You will be able to approach the cache by walking on trails and mowed grass up to about the last 50 feet. The cache is in a shoebox size black plastic Lock&Lock container.

Please return the cache to the location the way you found it.

HINT.
Have fun!
