Ground Zero: Westford (01886) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Eight Foot Llama: Time to shut this one down. The visits have slowed quite a bit and there is some "Ground Zero" confusion of late with the way GC.com changed their system. Will be putting this container out again for a new cache. Thanks to those who came!

Geocache Description:

The above coords are fake -- do not go there. This is a puzzle cache based on the GROUND ZERO series.

To find the cache, you must determine the "Ground Zero" coordinates for Westford, MA, 01886. This link may be helpful.

You will find that the Ground Zero coords lie on a residential street. Take the 4th letter of this street's name and find its Numeric Place in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, Z=26). Multiply this Numeric Place by 14.25, and you will have the bearing to the cache from the GROUND ZERO coordinates. The cache lies 3620 meters away, near a long stone wall, but not in it.

Parking is southwest of the cache.

Please don't touch the stone wall, or cross it. There is private property on the other side.
