To park, just park on a side street.

There are 3 waypoints you have to figure out once you arrive at the listed coordinates.

#2
N 41° 16.AAA'
W 096° 05.168'

#3
N 41° 16.BBB'
W 096° 05.CCC'

#4 (the physical cache)**
N 41° 16.423'
W 096° 05.DDD'

**This last one is what the terrain difficulty is all about. I was coming down here as a kid, but I certainly would suggest bringing yours with you for this last, short excursion.

To solve for AAA, take the number of mailboxes you see looking W from the first coordinate and multiply by 6 and subtract 32. Add this to the last 3 digits in the first N coord. (462)

To solve for BBB, double the number of red reflectors in front of you while standing at the 2nd coordinate and add 6, then subtract that from the last 3 digits in the prev N. coord. (AAA)

To solve for CCC, take the number of posts holding the reflectors up and add 2. Multiply this number by 9 and then subtract your answer from the last 3 digits of the previous W coord. (168)

To solve for DDD, multiply the number of pine trees just off to the SSE of the 3rd coordinate by 32 and subtract this number from the last 3 digits of the previous W coord. (CCC)
