Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates.

Solve the puzzle below to find the cache.

Per Wiki:

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for such activities as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. 

The Rock River is a fairly hard working river considering its size. There are 9 dams of all types from it's headwaters in Horicon down to the stateline in Beloit. This puzzle only deals with the 6 I'm most familiar with.

The Puzzle: N 42 48.ABC & W 089 05.DEF

A = (Watertown) Lower Watertown Dam NID Height - 11.8

B = (Jefferson) Jefferson NID Height - 3

C = (Indianford) Indianford NID Height - 11

D = (Janesville) Central NID Height - 4

E = (Janesville) Monterey NID Height - 7

F = (Beloit) Beloit NID Height - 8

One of my all-time favorite dam movie scenes is from National Lampoon's 'Vegas Vacation'.  Click HERE to watch the clip.
