Geocache Description:

"Going Spongy" is what happens to a geocacher's brain after finding fifty 1/1 altoid tin geocaches under a light cover. The geo-rangers decided to make this one a little harder!

Cache contains a log to sign and some trade items. Nothing spectacular we assure you, but it counts as another cache so that should be incentive enough.

To obtain the final coordinates, a little math is in order. Cachers are very familiar with bad coordinates and spiraling out from ground zero to expand the search AREA and gain greater finding POWER. So, solving for POWER, the final latitude is N33.42.XXX where XXX horsepower = 321.4 kilowatts. The longitude is an AREA conversion (W117.07.YYY) where YYY square meters = 1937.5 square feet. Round off to obtain the three digits! Good luck and happy geocaching!

Major Kudos to tumbleweed2 for the replacement; you guys are the best!
