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

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.
