Tir19 & GreenTerra: [Time to let this one go.
Thanks to all who came.

Stage One N 41° 43.245 W 072° 39.599 was a cemetary marker.
The Wethersfield Motor Vehicle Department was originally a prison.

Stage 2 was a white Historical sign at the cove parking area. Once part of the Connecticut river, this was an important port for commerce.
N 41° 43.395 W 072° 39.210

Geocache Description:

Compared to some I've tried, this should be a relatively easy cache.
Please note that seasonally the final area becomes overgrown and I've increased the Difficulty by one. ALSO NOTE; the final stage is in a flood plain and at flood stage may be avaliable by boat only :-)

Originally thought to entitle this one, 'Learn about Wethersfield' since stage one will teach you about the previous history of the Department of Motor Vehicles building.

Subtract the dates and add XXX to both

N 41 43 259
W 072 39 074

Then find stage 2 and learn about Wethersfield Cove!

Subtract the 'Port of Delivery' date from the 'Yacht Club' date and add XX to both

N 41 43 377
W 072 39 021

and now go to where you will learn about overgrown game trails, stinging nettles and a lock & lock hidden in the woods.
