Geocache Description:

Puzzle Cache. The cache is not at the listed coordinates. The listed coordinates have no relevance to the puzzle whatsoever.

In June, 1994, an unknown intelligence visited our area and left its calling card - a crop circle impressed upon the wheat field west of 185th Avenue and just south of the Sunset Highway (the listed coordinates).

You are looking for a small cache which is just large enough for you to leave your calling card or small signature item. But you have to exercise some of your own intelligence to find it.

=========================================================

Some caches are easy to find, others are hard. Some puzzles are fun, others painfully remind us of all the math classes we've forgotten. Tallying the plusses and minusses of this particular cache location takes you here:

S 77° 20.240' E 168° 25.882'

=========================================================

Do not hunt this cache with small children. Do not hunt this cache if you are afraid of heights. There is no need to climb over fences or scale walls - look for another way.

The location is near a popular trail and business park. Watch for muggles - they're watching you!

(Summing the digits of the final coordinate yields a checksum of 45)
