Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES

Part of the Vermont Vocabulary Virus cache-spawning series by mwein.


At some point, we all become "under"achievers, and when we do, we end up someplace like this...

This is a simple mystery cache with two virtual stages and then the final. The area is open from 8am to dusk and is closed in the winter. Be respectful and refine searching to when the area is not being used for other purposes.

Stage 1
N 44 35.566, W 73 2.342
X = the age (in months) of Wilber H. Grow at his time of death

Stage 2
N 44 35.571, W 73 2.356
Y = the number obtained by taking the name of the person who lies here and appending the number of letters in the last name to the number of letters in the first name (i.e. Arnold Schwarzenegger = 614). Note that this person died on July 17, 1899.

When you have found X and Y, simply add X to the North decimals and subtract Y from the West decimals and go find the cache!
