Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!!!



... but the park that holds the cache is!

Three friends decided to hide a cache. It was their first one. Eliza, the oldest, was born on May 17, 2001. The next oldest was Rosie, born on July 1, 2001. Emily, who is Rosie's younger sister, was born on December 21, 2004. The friends each chose a word that would go into the cache title. Rosie chose "Ladybug," Emily chose "Hearts," and Eliza chose "The."

X was Eliza's age, in days, when Rosie was born, and
Y was Rosie's age, in days, when Emily was born.

The cache is really located at N 38° 33.ABC W 121° 4D.EFG, where
ABC is the 3-digit representation of the greatest common factor of X and Y.
DEFG is the 4-digit representation of the least common multiple of X and Y.

Have fun with my first cache! From mopsy critter (with some help from dad)!

Congrats to fevers for the FTF!
