The Oval Mystery Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

wemedge: Stopped by to check on things and, sure enough, it's missing yet again (apologies to ponil and Nhtravelers5). I won't be able to replace it for a month or more, and the hiding spot has become so compromised I'm not sure it will even be possible. I'll think about it...

Geocache Description:

The Oval card, part of the Flash in a Cache series (GC14FY5).

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you will need to go there to gather some information.

The Milford Oval is a New Hampshire landmark, the center of one of the best small downtowns in the state. Constantly circled by traffic this quaint, relaxing island has a surprising number of interesting things on it! I originally intended something more challenging for this cache, but when I stopped at this little park I was reminded of several caches I’d done in other similar parks and thought an info-gathering mini-multi was more fitting here. You’ll need to find six items to get the coordinates for the final cache, which is within easy walking distance.

A = The number of one-syllable words in the name of the two-person statue.

B = The number of children who participated in the readathon, divided by 15, divided by 5.

C = The sum of x + y, where 19xy is the date the monument honoring Milford citizens who served in times of war was erected.

D = The year the first meetinghouse was built here, minus the year that William Crosby donated his land to Milford.

E = The number of letters in the abbreviation of the organization associated with the oak.

F = The circular Milford Bicentenniel Pathway marker has two years on it. Add the eight individual digits of these two years together to get a (palindromic) two-digit number. The sum of this number’s two digits is F.

The final cache, a micro, is at N 42 50.ABC W 071 39.DEF. You will need a pen.
