This geocache is not at the given coordinates. You will need to
gather some information from the downtown area of Brattleboro,
Vermont in order to find the actual cache container. Feel free to
post photos with your log as long as they do not contain anything
that may give away or hint at any of the answers!
Use information found at the given coordinates to solve the
following:
4247577 + (first numeric value on the plaque) + (second numeric
value on the plaque) - (third numeric value on the plaque) -
(number of red brick circles laid into the ground at this site) =
Latitude for next location
7237548 - (first numeric value on the plaque) - (second numeric
value on the plaque) + (third numeric value on the plaque) -
(number of red brick circles laid into the ground at this site) =
Longitude for next location
Once at the second location, answer the following:
Sum of the three years stated on this landmark = A
About 295 feet away is a tall monument.
Number of rifles depicted on the west-facing side of the monument =
B
The answers to the following questions can be found around
downtown Brattleboro:
Number of these small “blocks” found around the top of
the Wells Fountain = C
Sum of the two dates engraved in the northern-most corner of the
Brattleboro Administrative Offices (police department) building =
D
Number of Lamps affixed to the east-facing side of the Main Street
Post Office = E
Year engraved in the southern-most corner of the Gibson-Aiken
Center = F
Date shown in stone about halfway up the east-facing side of the
First Baptist Church of Brattleboro = G
Number of columns on the eastern side of the Brattleboro Shrine
Holding building (Shriner's Hall) = H
Finally, using the numbers you have gathered, solve the
following:
D + F - H + 4219954 + G + A - B + 18967 - C - E = Latitude for
final location
E - G + 7256198 - H - 23665 + F + A - D + C + B = Longitude for
final location
