Geocache Description:

DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES! They are for the recommended parking location. You will need to decrypt the coordinates below to flnd the actual cache location.

The cache is located just off the Bull Run Occoquan trail. We thought about calling this cache “Rocky Ridge,” but we passed by a Broke Tree just as we began to ascend the Mountain, so another name just kinda popped into our heads. Go figure.

The puzzle should appeal to the mathematician in you, so put on your thinking caps and give it a whirl. The encrypted coordinates are as follows:

18, 24, 26, 87, 88, 98, 117, 134, 138, 158, 163, 167, 182, 188, 189

When you rehide the cache be sure to push on the center of the lid to create a good, airtight seal. Please replace the cache exactly as you found it to preserve the challenge for the next cacher.

Enjoy!
