You will find the cache at N37 46.SKY 107 35.BIG. Elevation for SKY is 11589 and elevation for BIG is 6512. You need to find how much less volume of air is available to your lungs at these altitudes than at sea level. For SKY multiply your answer by 22.67 and dropthe last two digits,for BIG multiply answer by 14.6 The air pressure in Denver is approximately 17% less than that at sea level. Thats 17%less air for your lungs
Congradulation to jeepers 1and 2 and crew on FTF

10:45PM FTF! Without the help of my wife and Runningwolff, we would probably still be crunching numbers on this one! Thanks for the challenge and the nice walk to the cache site. Took a little looking but eventually we were successfull. Thanks Jake for another fun cache! (My apologies for such a delayed log.)

We have to share the first on this one with several others! XJ4 and Runningwolff did all the calculations they just let me(Tony) make the find! I think they felt sorry for me since I was such little help with the puzzle!! Tuff puzzle, nice hike and a lengthy search made for a rewarding find! Wish Runningwolff could have been here to share in logging of the cache. Thanx for the hide Jake......Tony&Bertha.
