Geocache Description:

Welcome to the official location of the Highland Community. The coords will lead you to one of the many historical markers standing alongside Hwy. 109 between Gallatin and Portland. This cache was placed by some of the Junior class members of Highland Academy while doing a fundraiser in this parking lot. While we were having this yard sale, it gave me some time to make this cache with extra umph to allow it to be more enjoyable for everyone.

I used this cache idea on another one of my caches that I hid a long time ago, but it never had the chance to be enjoyed by the Geocaching community, so here I am giving another community a second chance.

This cache is also placed to provide an easy exchange point for travel bugs, geocoins, Jeeps, and other trackable items of that sort!

At the historical marker you will have to find a film canister that has a decoding paper in it telling how to solve the following puzzle. These are the coords to the second and final stage:

[ (Z)-(W) ][ (C)*(F)-(L) ] degrees north [ (I)-(F) ][ (K)-(J) ]. [ (A)+(D)-(B) ][ (Y)-(N)-(K) ][ (L)/(B) ]

[ (T)-(K)-(I) ][ (H) ][ (D)*(E)-(N) ] degrees west [ (R)-(O) ][ (U)/(C)-(G) ]. [ (M)-(F)-(G) ][ (G) ][ (P)-(P) ]

Key:
+ indicates addition
- indicates subtraction
* indicates multiplication
/ indicates division
( ) indicates numbers to be added/subtracted
[ ] Final number for the coordinates

The final cache will be a regular sized Lock n' Lock container. When you are searching, there will be no need to go very close to the main road...so stay away and keep your kids withen reach at all times.
