Geocache Description:

This cache is a very easy mutli-stage as long as you can do some simple math to get the final coords. Very interesting location and information.

The location is the last standing building of a small township that linked several other towns and this building served as a town hall for that area. Over the many years it has been used for many different purposes, including housing for highway builders and an indoor basketball court. Take a look around, maybe even bring a picnic on a nice day.

Here's what you need to do to find the final location.

Find a set of Values from the informational Plaque.

For the northern part:

A= The year the second floor was removed.
B= After what year did the population dwindle. Let that year be the Value

So : N47. (A-1900) . ((B-1900) - (A-1900) * 50) + 7

For the western:

C= The Elarged Homestead Act of this year

So: W112.(C-1900)+7.((A-1900)+(B-1900)+(C-1900) X 14) + 33

It looks tougher than it is. The final cache is a Green ammo can, not far off from the orgininal location. So bring some scratch paper, a pencil and your maybe your teenager if you don't remember bracket math and enjoy the quaint area.
