Geocache Description:

Not at the above coordinates. The listed coordinates have no significance in locating the cache.

The idea for this cache was stolen from GC3E25, Criss Cross Cache by Squeamish.

Four waypoints are listed below. The cache is located at the intersection of the line passing through waypoints A and B and the line passing through waypoints C and D. Assume that the waypoints are coplanar. Disregard curvature of the surface of the earth and variations in elevation.

Waypoint A: The sign reading "EAST HENNEPIN 50 COUNTY" that is closest to the intersection of Hennepin County Road 50 and 66th Ave. N.

Waypoint B: The point 11.88 meters north of the sign reading "SPEED LIMIT 30" that is closest to the intersection of Railway St. and Lorenz St.

Waypoint C: The point 4.05 meters south of disc golf target #5 near the intersection of 29th Ave. N. and Brookridge Ave.

Waypoint D: The metal lamppost that is third-closest to the intersection of Spring St. NE. and Jefferson St. NE.

It is recommended to visit each waypoint several times to confirm the accuracy of the coordinates. The container is a very small micro that is partly in plain sight.
