Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.

 

For the final North Coordinate subtract 0.112 from above North coordinates.

This AZ Art consists of 71 Unknown Caches in the desert. The puzzles are all simple ADD / SUBTRACT math to get the final coordinates. If you stay on the old paved / dirt roads you will not encounter the STEEL SPIKES that were likely used for surveying. These steel spikes could cause SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE. As usual be vigilant of all the usual desert hazards. There are not many cacti in this area.

Fun Fact: A LIFE magazine article published on August 30th of 1943 credited each of several government employed arachnids (mainly the Black Widow) with spinning between 100 and 180 feet of thread a week. This thread was then used to make cross hairs in the gunsights/bomb-sights of the U.S. Army.

This Fun Fact was researched by: Zombie Jackalopes AZ and put into his found log.
