Solve the puzzle in the image to get coords. FOR ADJUSTED FINAL COORDS: subtract .013 from N and subtract 0.007 from W. Hike along Saw Mill trail in Patapsco Valley State Park.
NOTE: Cache location has been slighly adjusted -- after the solve, subtract .013 from North minutes and subtract 0.007 from West minutes. Solution Checker is for final adjusted coords. Geochecker is for puzzle solution. Like a Calder sculpture, here are numbers hanging on a mobile. Can you figure out where they are telling you to go?
Initial clues: Even though I am portraying the diagram as a mobile, do not try to move any numbers or branches around. The format of the answer is the same as the listing coords (except no spaces).
Park at trailhead on Hilltop Road at the listed coords. Hike North following the yellow blazes for 0.2 miles then follow the Saw Mill Branch Trail (red blazes). Note: to go directly from the trail to the cache is very steep, to avoid that, continue on the trail down the steep hill past the cache, then turn off the trail and head back to the cache.
Cache is a 1 qt Coleman watertight container. Has a FTF prize of LED headlamp.
Approved by MD DNR. "Please allow at least one day for trails to dry after rain."
FTF honors go to Maryland Steelers Fan
