Geocache Description:


Philomath is the combination of two Greek words: "philos" ("beloved" or "loving") and "math" ("to learn"). The English translation is "love of learning", and this building happens to be a great place to learn! Lots of books, wonderful art, free wi-fi, and friendly staff.

This cache is a special log book in plain sight... no need to dig through the stacks! Satellite reception might get a bit sketchy as you approach the first stage. At that location, look for the answers to these questions:

A = number of logs that the Dodge truck was said to be hauling

B = third digit of the model year of the Dodge truck plus one

C = fourth digit of the model year of the Dodge truck plus one

D = number of letters in the artist's last name minus one

E = number of syllables in the artist's last name

Your checksum for A + B + C + D + E should be 18.

The cache can be found at ABC - DDE.
