The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the cache location.
My parents love to play Mexican Train. Those of you who have been paying attention probably knew this cache was coming and just wondered why it hadn't shown up for so long.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
Special Notes about the 2021 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, if one even happens in 2022, as we didn't have one in 2020 and it looks dubious as to whether we'll have one in 2021). The real challenge is to see whether I can even figure out how to create a new puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's puzzle: Not close enough to the train tracks to see the trains, but you can still hear them. Took a while to find a location that I could kind of get to work with the puzzle. Like most quadratic equations, there are two solutions to this puzzle; so check your satellite map to pick the one that makes more sense.
