Geocache Description:


Two-part kid-friendly cache hidden along the English Hill Trail. This was the spot of the first cache I ever found, now long gone. Congratulations to DM&K and p'451 for FTF!

 

The initial location is a Stormwater Storage Pond, which helps protect the Puget Sound and Pacific Northwest ecosystem. The starting coordinates N 47° 43.565, W 122° 06.545 mark the pond's sign. The first sentence on the sign contains six words. Let the number of letters in the first word equal A, the number of letters in the second word equal B, and so on through F. To calculate the location of the cache, you must solve for X and Y in the equations below.

 

E × (E^E ÷ C + E × D ÷ F) + 10 = X

E^A + B^D + 10 = Y

 

The final location is N 47° 43.565 minus .X decimal degrees, W 122° 06.545 minus .Y decimal degrees. Please use stealth! The cache holds plenty of trinkets and room for trackables. Hope you all enjoy!
