Geocache Description:

An Unknown cache in Northwest Branch park.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES. I recently archived a cache of mine in Northwest Branch, so I have decided to hide another one up here. The final cache is up a hill not far from the coords, but you will have to do some web-surfing to get the coords. Here is the puzzle:

N 39 02.ABC

W 077 00.DEF

A= How many muses were there in Greek mythology?

B= The fourth open meandric number.

C= The last digit of the year of the Battle of Toulon during the War of the Austrain Succession.

D= The last digit of the year Route 66 was established.

E= Bobby Doerr's jersey number.

F= The last digit of the year Giuseppe Gabriel Balsamo-Crivelli was born.

The final cache is a pill bottle. No swag, just log and BYOP. Please put back EXACTLY as you found it and enjoy the many other caches in Northwest Branch. Happy Hunting!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

HALLELUJAH! *****FTF GOES TO SUNRUNNER AND NY KID!*****
