Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but is within 2 miles.

This is a puzzle cache with a meteorological theme.


We took measurements of wind, Eastward and Northward, at 5 cache locations in Livermore. The table below also includes the minutes of the West and North coordinates.

Location West min North min East North
Nuts N' Bolts 46.008 40.268 -6.11 7.28
Kids Cache 2 43.148 41.302 3.63 -5.29
Are You Shur? 44.633 41.567 5.90 1.29
Highway Garage 46.537 41.462 4.76 9.70
Kiosk N' Canziani 43.599 40.534 -3.44 -3.35


Taking the measurements really stressed us out. So, we placed the cache in the calmest place we could find.

This is NOT a vegetation hide. If you're stepping on plants, it's not there. If you're looking in plants, it's not there. Solutions from most solvers are less than 40' from actual location, so use the hide hints.
