Geocache Description:

The Wareham Crossing Logo is a Lighthouse and management has aptly developed a New England coastal theme near the shopping center's Lighthouse Replica.
Therefore it is appropriate to include the Compass Rose symbol into this environment for this quick multi cache.

Wareham Crossing is a shopping center located at the intersection of Rt 195 and Rt 495/25.

 

From the iconic Cape Lighthouse replica located at : N 41 46.592 and W 070 44.635

Look north, south, east and west. 

From the lighthouse your job is to navigate the 4 points of the compass clockwise starting from the North and determine 3 digits labeled E, S and W

Take note of what establishments are located at the 4 points of a compass rose and what place the respective directional first letter is placed within the operations name. For example:

North faces LongHorn Steakhouse... the letter N is the third (3rd) letter in the name.

(Now work clockwise around the compass for the puzzler 3 number solutions)

 

Determine the placement of the E, S  and W numbers for the remaining compass directions.

 

East is    __________...  the letter E is the  ________ letter in the name.

South is  __________...  the letter S is the ________ letter in the name.

West is   __________...  the letter W is the ________ letter in the name.

 

using these three numbers:  E= __,  S = ___ and W = ____

add them mathematically to the following latitude and longitude numbers to arrive at the final destination of this hanging micro cache.

 

      N 41 46.019   +  E  S  W  =  N41   46. __ __ __

                               __ __ __

      W 070 44.225 +  E  S  W  =  W 070 44.__ __ __       and these are the coordinates of the final

                               __ __ __
