Geocache Description:

A lot of 'xams are given nearby.  This is hidden near a convenient place to relax after an 'xam.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  However, there is an interesting item at those coordinates that you may want to go see while you are in the area.

Since this cache is about 'xams it is only fitting that you have to take an 'xam to determine the final coordinates.  (Would this be called a "final" 'xam ?).  I give a lot of engineering exams, so this one has to do with engineering.  Don't worry, it is pretty basic.

The final is at N 42 AB.CDE   W 079 FG.HIJ
