Small Town "Ward" Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Land Surveyor: Some of the numbers at Stage 1 have been removed and there is no indication that they are going to be replaced (though several cachers figured it out with a let help from Google). Then the container at the final coords keeps disappearing. This one has had a good run but it's time to put it to rest and free up the space! Who knows, maybe a new & improved version will pop up one day!

Thanks to everyone who made the search!

Geocache Description:


"Small Town" (John Mellencamp)

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town
And I can breath in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

South Carolina is blessed with many beautiful small towns! We hope that you will enjoy this little jaunt through Ward, SC!

This multi-stage cache starts in the heart of town. The coordinates will take you to an object that looks off track! "A", "B" & "C" can be found on the side of it. The other five numbers can be found predominently displayed on the front of the building just west of the object. Fill in the blanks below & do a little math to find the final stop!

X _ _ _
A B C

_ _ _ _ _
D E F G H

I = (C x D) + F
J = H - A
K = E - D
L = A + (2 x C)
M = H - (2 x F)
N = C + D - F
O = G - C + F
P = 2 x (C x D)

The cache container is a camouflaged 5"x5" Lock n' Lock located at a local park at:

N 33 IJ.KFL
W 081 MN.EOP

Please re-hide & cover well for the next cacher!
