How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Latitude and longitude provide the basis of geocaching. This cache will test your knowledge of it, perhaps with a little help from your GPS. Savy cachers may not even need it for help.

NOTE: The first stage goes missing frequently so start on the second stage at coordinates: N41° 50.893 W073° 56.402. The answer at stage one is A=2.
This is a series of four film container caches which will get you to the final regular size cache. Each of the film containers will have a question and a choice of answers, each with a corresponding digit to fit into the coordinates of the final. It will also have coordinates for the next stage as well any additional information to make the find easier. Copies of the information are provided but please leave at least one copy in the cache. The caches have a common hiding theme which should facilitate matters also.
When you have assembled the coordinates for the final, it should be a relatively easy grab. If you can't easily find the it, you should probably check your answers as the wrong answer could send you to a patch of briars. There are no indicators that you are at the wrong final location as there would be too many to accomodate. Most GPS units should be capable of allowing you to find the answers with them. No trick questions; answers are approximate.
An example of what to expect is as follows:
 This Stage: What are the coordinates for Rome, NY?

      A = 1   N34° 15.817  W085° 11.115
          3   N43° 43.212  W075° 75.456
          5   N43° 12.720  W075° 27.360

         Next Stage: N41° 32.123  W073° 56.789
                  In pile of rocks 15 feet from trail
The final cache location is: N41° 51.AB3 W073° 56.CD3

In this example you would replace the A with the number of the correct answer, in this case 5. The location of the next stage is shown along with a hint if necessary.
You may want to bring a pencil and paper for calculations. Could be lots of muggles on a nice day. Parking is within 70 feet of stage 1. Minimal bushwacking required. Round trip is approximately 1 mile.
