Geocache Description:

Welcome to Dougan's Landing, a popular place to cool off in the summer. All the information you need to solve this puzzle cache will be found in the immediate area. The coordinates listed are not the coordinates of the cache, they are the coordinates to the parking area. From there, you will gather the information needed to determine the cache coordinates.  This park is open from 6 am until 10:30 pm.  Stealth may be required.

The final cache coordinates will be N 042 31.0XX, W 093 16.0YY.

To determine XX: First, count the number roped posts along the riverwalk and multiply by 2. Add to this the number of river miles from Cross' Ford Access to Pine Lake State Park (rounded to the nearest whole number).  You should get a two digit number for XX in the final coordinates.

To determine YY: Next, there are three signs nearby facing the river with information for boaters and paddlers. Subtract the total number of letters on the western most sign from the total number of letters on the eastern most sign. To this number you will add the number of geological surfaces found in Hardin county to get your final two digit number, YY.

 I would like to thank the Iowa Falls Parks and Recreation Department for approving this puzzle cache
