Geocache Description:

This is a fun multi to show you some of Brewer Maine's past. I hope you enjoy learning it as much as I did. Keep in mind the posted coordinates only bring you to Brewer, nothing more. As of August 2020 there is a new sign at the entrance to the property. It states that there is No Trespassing from 1/2 hr after sunset until sunrise. Please respect the wishes of the landowner or I will have to archive this cache.

In order to find the physical cache you must visit the following locations
  • A= N44 47.749 W068 45.619
  • B= N44 47.302 W068 45.359
  • C= N44 48.194 W068 45.095
  • D= N44 47.937 W068 45.475
  • E= N44 47.851 W068 45.678
  • F= Temporarily use 1950 as the date
  • G= N44 46.686 W068 46.719
  • H= N44 46.198 W068 46.797
  • I= N44 47.719 W068 45.909
  • J= N44 47.736 W068 45.890
When you locate these places you will get to learn a little bit of Brewer’s history. You need to write down the date associated with each letter location. Putting them in order from earliest to latest and using the numbers from the key below you will now have the coordinates for the final cache. (Important: If more than one date appears then use the earliest one.) The final is a 30 cal ammo can. It is in a fairly well visited area so please watch for curious eyes and replace it as well hidden as you found it. Only one marker or plaque in an area is used to determine a date for any letters location. You may need to look at the hint for Location E if your GPSr is bouncy.
A=4 B=4 C=4 D=7 E=4 F=7 G=4 H=8 I=4 J=4
Now using the correctly ordered list place the numbers from the key in order from earliest to latest and you will get the coordinates to the final cache location
