| "Ehh! Another M Micro" is not at the posted coordinates. You must do your homework first to calculate where it resides, before biking off to find it! This cache was created by 10 year old Airman of Team Geo-Rangers. |
Besides the log, the cache contains some state quarters, a dime, and a foreign coin.
To get the final coordinates, you need to get out an old text book or do some internet research to convert the following numbers and obtain these coordinates:
N 33.40.ZZZ (DENSITY)
W 117.56.YYY (ANGLE)
To calculate angle YYY, convert 35,778.03 Gradians into Radians. Round off to get your YYY digits (radians).
To convert pounds per cubic foot (density) into kilograms per cubic meter, convert 45.697 lb/ft3 to ZZZ kg/m3. Round off again and plug it into the coordinates.
Using angle and density, one obtains the final coordinates!
Bring a pen to sign the log!
These micros are really getting out of control, but it's the best cache type to use and endure in urban areas so ... rots o' ruck!

Coords put me in a likely place, but not the right one. After a short search, I gave up but spotted it as I was returning to the trail. Thanks for the cache.

You made the math very easy - thanks!

My father did all of the math and found out the coordinates to this one. If it had been me i would have skipped it.

Druid Frank out caching this morning with daughter Lisa (Mojostones). Druid Frank did the math, Lisa found the cache about half a radian out of its hiding place but replaced it nicely. TNLNSL. TFTC.

#490. Druid Frank solved the puzzle, and Mamastones found the cache. It appeared to have fallen from its hiding place, so we put it back where we think it originally was. TFTC!

1600 hrs. Coords spot on. Found with the Corporal and Private in tow. TNLNSL. Thanks for the (re)education.

Visiting from Southern AZ doing some bike caching while AZtravelette plays in a regional bridge tournament at the Westin Hotel.
Had some help from my daughter before leaving AZ. She finally earned some of that UofA tuition I paid for 4 1/2 years. TFTC SL

I walked right by this cache a couple of months ago, twice! But I hadn’t solved the puzzle and so I got a little more exercise today. Now days I’m a bit more careful about solving puzzles BEFORE I go caching so I did learn something from my mistake. Now if I could just solve all those puzzles…
Thanks for the fun cache and puzzle

This one took some time. To take the "forbidden" trail, the low trail, or the high road. The puzzle coordinates narrowed this search down. Geocached for the day with Q22Q17. TNLNSL

Out caching with our good friends, 2snoopy. Between the 4 of us, one of us should be able to figure this one out. Thanks to the superior knowledge provided by 2snoopy, we had the info we needed. But, was it up above or down below. Split the difference, and we found it. It was truly a group effort!
