Our first hidden cache....because....bd's was kind enough to plant a non-traditional cache for us using a symbol so we could spell our name. Many thanx to him and what a great idea! So we decided to plant an ntc for someone else we know who needs a symbol as well. Just “passing it on”! The honoree of this cache is an experienced cacher who solves a lot of puzzles, so here's a puzzle and it may or may not be easy, but will require some research and a little math. Read carefully. Good luck!
