Geocache Description:

This is #9 in the series of spiralmania caches that make use of the VK zone notation. As a derivative of the UTM coordinate system one can easily use it to obtain distances, areas, and so on. For more about this great notation please see this link.


When driving along the roads of southwestern Dakota County one has to be impressed by the rich soil. There is little erosion as the land is flat with just a few slow meandering creeks. When we cased out the area for these caches in the Spring the farmers were busily planting their fields, mainly in corn. Now in the Fall, they're bringing in another bumper crop with their prime equipment. As there are not many strangers on these roads be prepared to greet one of these friendly farmers should they stop to inquire if they can be of any assistance. They are justifiably cautious due to a string of rural burglaries to the south of here a couple of years back. There's no need to enter private property or cross any fences to get to any of these caches.

The cache is at VKPQ, where PQ = 2104807343.


To certify your solution enter it in the form VKpppppqqqqq (short for UTM: 15 T E 4ppppp N 49qqqqq) and receive the coordinates in lat/lon format and a helpful hint on the hide. Even the correct incorrect entry might be rewarded. Although it's anticipated that the number of wrong answers will exceed the number of right ones, there's no need to flail the coordinate checker as the correct answer will be obvious.
