Geocache Description:


When Bykenut was an infant, she crawled toward a slide rule instead of a piece of chalk or a stethoscope. Her parents were delighted that their daughter would one day become an engineer. What they didn't realize is that the glass of port wine that she spilled on her prophetic path to destiny would also introduce their child to one of her great joys. This cache is a celebration of Bykenut's most auspicious day, her natal anniversary.

Chinese wisdom notes that, for Bykenut, this year focuses on taking the raw and cooking it to make it consumable...a sort of transformation. How fortuitous that bykenut is a foodie extraordinaire!

Your fortune is less certain. Predicting the future is a dynamic balance of opposites. You will need to balance your body and brain to solve this puzzle in order to get the coordinates needed to find the cache.




Update 7/15/07: Original cache disappeared. We have replaced the cache with a camouflaged film canister. For this reason, we have increased the difficulty by half a star. We had a difficult time with coordinates here, hence the detailed hint. No bushwhacking required! Entrance to the path can be found by subtracting .002 from the latitude and .016 from the longitude of the solution.
