Geocache Description:

The Cache is NOT at the posted coords above. This is part of the Smilely Series of Caches. These coords are in the middle of a large, muddy, swamp. You may get in there, but, not get back out. As I went into this swamp, I had some questions, "What am I doing in here?" So this was turned into a easy puzzle.
Below are some easy questions to answer to get the coords for the real cache.

The real cache is on the other side of Wixom Rd , across from the Ranger Station. Here are some questions:
A. How many campsites does Proud Lake Rec area have? Rounded out to the nearest 10. Take this number divide by 5 and then add 8 to get: A
B. How many acres does Proud Lake Rec area have? Rounded off to the nearest 100 acres. Take the number of acres and subtract 4105 to get: B
C. The river is named after what Indian Tribe?
Take the number of letters and add 78 to get: C.
As I was sinking in this swamp, I started thinking back to 04 and climbing Mt. Wixom just to the south of here. In this area , years ago you were close to the base camps of Mt Wixom . (GCK77R) Here are some more questions of this area:
D. Who went down the mountain by snowboard? Number of letters in her name is : D
E. What was South Lyon Trekker's famous statue made of? Number of letters and add one to get: E
F. The number of Teams that made it up to Mt. Wixom that didn't make it back out? (They never cached again.) Take the number, multiply by 3 and then subract three from that number to get: F
G. What was the name of the First Finder who fell to his death because of "Bad Ropes"? Number of letters divide by Six. =G

The Cache is at:
N: 42 A. B
W: C F. E G D


A park entrance permit is needed for this state park. Also, cover up this cache well. This is the spot that the police use to nap at while on duty. If you see them come back later. Or you may get a ticket for disturbing their peace.
