The above coordinates are for a point in the parking area of Perry Lane Park in
Agawam, MA. To find the cache you must first visit Agawam ground
zero.
Agawam, MA has the distinction of having the lowest Zip Code in the United States - 01001. The ground zero coordinates for Agawam are N42 04.242 and W 072 37.476
Visit Agawam ground zero. At the side of the road there is a large yellow sign with two words written in black...
Take the number of letters in the upper word and multiply it by 8 to get a two digit number = AB. Add that number to the north PARKING COORDINATE (N42 04.034 + .0AB) to get the North coordinate for the cache.
Take the number of letters in the lower word and multiply it by 15 to get a three digit number = CDE. Subtract that number from the West PARKING COORDINATE (W072 37.645 - .CDE) to get the West coordinate for the cache.
The cache is a 7 * 4.5 * 2 inch Lock-n-Lock container covered in camo tape. It started with a variety of leaded glass and other types of sun-catchers. The First Finder gets a FTF button depicting the official seal of the Town of Agawam and a set of my signature UV detecting color-changing beads.
