Fort Steele Rush Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

lurolphil: This cache served as a memorial for many years. It will in turn find its peace as it is laid to rest. I have spoken with the Fort Steele staff and, because the displays change regularily, it would be best not to have such a cache in this live museum.
A replacement cache is already in the works.
Thanks to all who have found (or attempted this cache)
Sincerely,
lurolphil

Geocache Description:

Do you have a pioneering spirit, the gold rush fever? Well come along on an on-site mystery cache at the Historic Fort Steele Town.

The Site is popular with muggles and their presence can increase the level of difficulty so be cool, stealth and blend with the muggles to find the solutions to the problems listed below. Please take time to enjoy the sights, stop in at the International Hotel or the City Bakery for a little fortification and tables on which you can tally your clues.

Located within the Fort Steele Heritage Town, this marvelous cache will force you to visit some of the key features of this historical site.

You will need to bring along a notebook and pencil to record the clues. The listed coordinates are the main entrance to Fort Steele. You might want to pick up a map of the site or just stroll along the streets without, to add another challenge to your hunt.

A = The number of stairs @ the Water Tower (N 49 37.043, W115 38.056 LESS the number of swings behind the schoolhouse.

B = The number of arched windows @ St. Anthony's Catholic Chruch (N49 36.889, W115 38.003) LESS the number of big bottles in the front window of the Bleasdell’s Pioneer Drugstore and PLUS the cost of four tooth extractions Dr. Grice’s Painless Dentistry Practice.

C = The second number LESS the first number of the year the Rooseville Customs House (N49 36.946, W115 38.110) was moved to Fort Steele.

You now should have the North Coordinates, Now on to the West Coordinates...

D = The number of spokes of the Waterwheel (N49 36.821, W115 38.110) LESS "8" and LESS the number of churches in town.

E = The numbers of stalls at the garage (N49 36.995 W115 37.950) PLUS the number of theaters in town (very close to the same location).

F = Finally, go to the bronze bucket (N49 37.057 W115 37.902) and look to see how many barrels of beer and other beverages were produced daily.

Now to put it all together:
the cache is found at N49 AA.0BC W115 DD.EFF

If you need a sugar rush to help find a clue there is always Mrs. Sprague Sweet Shoppe and if you time your visit right just right you can reward yourself with homemade ice cream at the Lambi House.

This cache has been kept as close as possible to the original questions but since many changes have occured in the fort since its publishing, some changes were necessary. The Original Contents included: A FTF reward, bag of fool's gold, City of Cranbrook pins, bookmarks stamps, a butterfly house, butterfly bouncy ball and a Nano container for someone who wants to hide a cache for us to find.

Congrats to go devil and Scottie on First to Find!
