Geocache Description:

***** Warning 2 - bug spray highly recommended during the mosquito season.*****
Built about 1925, it was once a busy Minnesota Valley Oil Company gasoline station with an office and canopy. The Minnesota Valley Oil Company was incorporated about 1925 by Carver investors L. H. Scherkenbach, Ernest W. Lenzen, George H. Deitz, Robert A. Johnson, Julius E. Schmidt, Charles E. Dauwalter, George F. Hebeisen, Robert P. Wetter, O. R. Treibel, Mary Scherkenbach, and Evelyn Fink. The canopy style gas station appeared on the American scene in the middle of the1920s to afford weather protection to customers and workers who then gassed up vehicles, checked oil, and provided other routine maintenance at the pump. This type of structure, once common, is now part of a vanishing American landscape, and an early vestige of the nation’s growing fascination with the automobile. The two repair bays and utility room to the west in concrete block are later additions, perhaps dating to the 1950s or 1960s.

Check the total price of gas on the middle pump (don't include the fraction)

The final coordinates are located at 44.45 XXX , 93. 37 YYY

Where

XXX = (Price of Gas multiplied by 36) plus 7

YYYY = Price of Gas multiplied by 29

The final location is a short walk away. No need to get back in your caching-mobile.

 This gas station has been restored by Gregg Witt of Carver, MN as part of a city wide effort to preserve Carver's historic downtown district. I have received permission from Mr. Witt to include his station as part of this cache. You are welcome to walk over and take a look at his gas station, however please respect his property. Greg is often around working on his classic cars inside on of the station bays. Gregg loves visitors to stop by and take a look, so don't be afraid to say hi.

FTF prize is a beautiful fossilstone purchased at a Dinosaur Museum in Dickinson, ND.
