Geocache Description:

This multi-cache is designed to recreate the events and necessary errands associated with our son's new braces that he received on October 5, 2007.

You will be traveling a fair distance, so you will need a car to complete this cache. At each of the locations, you will be looking for the prominent 5 digit numbers you will find there.

Go to the coordinates listed above. This is where it all began. Find the 5 digit number and do the following math. AAAAA divided by 5 plus 1597.

After completing our time at that location, we traveled to: N 45.25.751 W 122.32.403 to get some Motrin for the pain. Find the 5 digit number here and do this calculation. BBBBB divided by 2 minus 5481.

After getting the needed Motrin and giving the appropriate dose, we traveled to this next location to obtain a loan to pay for the braces. Go to N 45.25.658 W 122.32.187 and find that 5 digit number and do this math. CCCCC minus 171.

After we got the braces, got something for the pain and some money to pay for this adventure, our son was hungry. We traveled to N 45.25.677 W 122.29.998 to stock up on some soup, yogurt and ice cream to make sure he didn't starve. Look for that similar 5 digit number and do this. Remove and disgard the first two digits. Then reverse the order of the last two digits and you have DDD. Put this all together and you have the coordinates to the cache. We had a bit of a hard time getting a really good set of coordinates due to tree cover, but your geosenses will help you out. The cache is an ammo box just waiting for you. Enjoy.
