Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates! This is my 1st "unknown" cache, and you will have to solve for the coordinates by plugging the answers to the quiz below into A, B, C, etc. 

Solve for: N 42° 0A.BCD W 079° 47.EFG This quiz deals with non-traditional sports and is dedicated to the Zorb, which is a large transparent plastic orb capable of carrying 1 to 3 people inside.

I tried to make the cache waterproof, but it may not be. Please secure the logbook in the bag so it stays dry and rehide the cache well.

Congrats to Twhrider and Burning Phoenix for FTF!!!
