Geocache Description:


This is one cache in a series of three Tree Straw caches hidden on the Green Circle Trail. These caches were initially hidden for the UWSP Geocaching Club and Stevens Point Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (SPACVB) 1st Annual CITO Event.

The coordinates listed will get you close but not to the cache. In order to find this cache you will have to use your math skills to figure out the coordinates.

A = X-X
B = Xº
C = X
D = X + Xº
E = X²
F = X² + Xº
G = X² + X
H = X³
I = X³+ Xº

No two letters (A-H) equal the same number and all letters (A-H) equal a number between 0 and 9. X is the same number for each equation.

Note: Depending on the season this could be a wet footed cache. When the cache was placed there was six to nine inches of water that had to be waded through to get to the cache. If there is a lot of water, you can avoid some of the wet footedness by accessing a downed tree bridge to the north of the cache. Be Prepared!!
