Geocache Description:

Located in the Carillon Historical Park off of south Dixie.   Only room for a log and a pencil.

The coords listed above are not for the cache.    See below for correct location.

For many years I have worked with computers. Early in my career I worked on a lot of DEC computers. They used what has now become almost a dead number system called octal.  The Octal system is based on the binary system with a 3-bit boundary.  The coords below are in octal, you will have to convert to decimal to derive the correct ones.

 N47° 53.1534
W124° 13.1526



     You can't miss the entrance to this historical park - it's marked by a 151-foot tall bell tower with 57 bells that ring every hour. The park itself is on 65 acres of land that house a number of historic buildings, such as Newcom Tavern, a log cabin that is one of the Dayton's oldest buildings. Additional highlights include a one-room schoolhouse, the Wright Flyer III (the Wright brothers' first real operating flying machine), and an exhibit of antique automobiles.
