Geocache Description:

Ammo box cache in a quiet park. Nice, easy walk on flat ground, play equipment for the kids.

*** NOTE: Cache is NOT hidden at the above coordinates! ***

Being die-hard NASCAR fans, we decided to hide a cache that required the finder to learn a little NASCAR history before being able to log a find.

Cache is an ACTUAL, HONEST TO GOODNESS AMMO BOX! Cache has a die-cast collectible car for a FTF prize, in addition to the usual goodies. Also, started this cache off with the 1st CAV Combat TB and a new Green Jeep TB!

Park closes at 10:00 pm. You may need to use stealth at certain times due to muggles. Please, please, hide cache as you found it.

To find the coordinates of this cache, first circle the correct answer to the questions lettered “A” through “J” below. Then, transfer the number of the correct answer into the following equation.

A=___ B=___ C=___ D=___ E=___ F=___ G=___ H=___ I=___ J=___

N 41° (A+C)(B+I).(D+E+J)(H)(E)
W 090 (F+G+H).(B)(A+D+G)(C)
