Rabble Rabble Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

A small lock n' lock with some room for trading items and travel bugs. Probably not winter friendly.

For those from a theatrical background, you may remember the term "Rabble Rabble" usually meant to be repeated with gusto on stage in heated arguments or large groups of protesters. The coordinates are to the New Hampton Town Hall, the site of many torch and pitchfork meetings, as well as a voting place during the New Hampshire Primary. The coordinates for the cache are as follows.. 43 37. XXX 071 37. XXX. To solve for the cache you must answer the following..

What day of August were effigies hung in protest of the infamous stamp act of 1765?

43 37.*XX (* is second digit)

What is the number of Smith's who served in World War Two multiplied by the number of Thompson's and then subtracted by 11?

43 37.X*X

Which year in the 2000's did the family of Bernard "Bud" Lowell plant a bush in his memory?

43 37.XX*

What is the second digit of the year the town hall was originally erected?
43 37.*XX

What is the last digit of the year the chapel moved from its original spot to downtown New Hampton?

071 37.X*X

What do you get when you subtract the second and first digits of the year the first building of the New Hampton Institute was erected and then the third?

Ex. 1632
6-1=5 5-3=2

071 37.XX*

Final Coordinates
43 37._____

The cache itself is a small Lock n' Lock which should be easy to find with some geosense. This cache should be fun and family friendly, not to challenging, although, more challenging caches to come!
