Stem and Leaf Plots
A Stem and Leaf Plot is a special table where each data value is split into
a "stem" (the first digit or digits) and a "leaf" (usually the last digit).
Cache is not at the posted coordinates.
To find it, you must use data found on this page to find the correct cache coordinates.
Solve for these coordinates: N A° B.3C W D° 58.0E
