Found with EasternGirls, stamped "iriGirls". After a tip-off at a local puzzling event as to an easier way to solve these, we've had these finals on our radar and were able to grab a few today.

Replaced container a few feet away from original, much safer. Equations tweaked accordingly.

Stopped by to check on this only to find the guard rail had been hit hard enough to shear off five of the 6x6 posts. The metal was bent enough that I couldn't retrieve my container. Will re-work shortly. Glad nobody was searching for it when it happened!

One of 7 caches found today. Worked out the coordinates in early 2014, but just now got around to finding and logging the cache. The cache is in good shape. Thanks for the puzzle and the cache.
