All Paths Lead to the Same Place Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

A pleasant walk through downtown Keene will allow you to collect the clues and find the small container hidden closeby.

The above coordinates take you to the first stage in this multi-stage information gathering challenge. Keep careful track of everything, you'll need it all by the end.

#1 - Posted coordinates.
A = Number of letters in the name of the Saint
B = Number of G's + Number of C's in the big sign

C = Last digit in the year the building was constructed

#3 - N42 55.7BB W072 16.A74
D = Add up all numbers for the Saturday Mass (for example 12:34 would equal 1+2+3+4=10)
E = Add up all numbers for the lastest Sunday Mass

#4 - N42 5A.0AD W072 16.71D

FINAL LOCATION
N 42 5A.(G-K)(B+K)(D+I)
W072 16.(D+H)(C-F)(J-E)

The container is a small metal container about the size of a waterproof match container. It is only big enough for the log.

The cache is an easy walk through downtown, and it actually may be faster to park and walk it.
