Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

To determine the coordinates, you must match the network address/subnet mask combination to the number of sub networks and number of hosts in each network. This will give you the code word to enter into the geochecker. The cache is a .50 cal ammo can in my usual camouflage.
