*** THE CACHE CONTAINER IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES ***
INSTRUCTIONS TO FIND THE CACHE CONTAINER:
1. For each of the dogs pictured below (labeled A through H), you will need to use subtle clues on this cache page, and find a SPECIFIC online documented number (it takes a little digging), then associate that number with the corresponding dog letter label. All of the numbers are single digits, except for one which is two digits. To check your work, the checksum of A through H (i.e. A+B+C+D+E+F+G+[H-3]) will equal 55 if you have identified all of the correct numbers.
A=____ B=____ C=____ D=____ E=____ F=____ G=____ [H-3]=____ CheckSum=_____
2. At Stage 2, Add up the total number of WORDS in the large first sentence that is below the sign's title, stopping at the ':'. (Note: The '/' separates two words). To that 'WORDS total', ADD 63, and that new number will be 'Z' for use in the formula below.
3. The cache container can then be located at:
N 41 4((((E+F+G+[H-3]) *Z) - 570) / 1,000) , W 90 2((((A+B+C+D) *Z) + 6,922) / 1,000)
N 41 4__________________________ , W 90 2__________________________
PARK SAFELY, BE STEALTHY, and HAVE FUN!
