Geocache Description:


El Dorado is a three part multi with the cache container located at the third point. The first part involves some math; then you're off to find a micro that contains the coordinates to the final location and the small cache. Your hunt begins at a point in El Dorato Park at the above coordinates. This is near the intersection of Greenhill Road and IA Hwy # X, and Hwy # Y which is also known As The Avenue of the Saints. Use the value of 'X' and 'Y' below, along with the original coordinates, to determine the coordinates for the second point as follows: LATITUDE: Multiply X by 2 and add it to 2 times Y. Multiple the result by 1 x 10 to the minus 3. Subtract from the given latitude above. ( N42° 29. - - - ) LONGITUDE: Divide X by 2 and add it to 5Y/3. Multiply that result by 1 x 10 to the minus 3. Add this result to the given longitude above. (W092° 27. - - - ) Parking is available by the recreational trail on Greenhill Road near the starting coordinates. Use care crossing Greenhill Road, but far better to use the tunnel! Cautions: the small wooden bridge that you'll cross going to the second point can be very slippery when wet. (If you don't cross a small wooden bridge going to #2, then recalculate). You may e-mail me if you have a problem and want your second coordinates checked. There is about 10 yards of light bushwacking to get to the final cache. The cache originally contains a log, pencil, a key chain and a pin/button from the Wild Horse bar in Nashville. Enjoy El Dorado Park and play ground; all locations are popular with bikers and hikers so play it smooooth..
