Geocache Description:


Welcome to our mystery cache honoring the two most famous former residents of the quiet town of Royalton, NY. The cache is an easy to find micro (with a small FTF prize) but is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will need to identify these two famous residents from their photos in order to determine the correct coordinates. More clues to their identity will be added after the FTF posts.

To determine the correct coordinates-start with the posted coordinates and identify the following:

Resident 1 - Who Am I?

Click below to open photo of "resident 1"

Take the total number of letters in her last name and add it to the LAST digit of the posted north coords.
THEN
Take the total number of letters in her first name and add it to the first digit after the decimal of the posted north coords.

Resident 2 - Who Am I?

Take the 4 digit year that this incredible local athlete won an Olympic gold and silver medal and add it to the last 4 digits of the posted west coordinates.

Parking at the final should be obvious and very close to the cache which is up a small incline. Night caching is not recommended as there are nearby residences.

A big Congrats to MickEMT on the FTF and the kind words-now for a clue for the rest of you that don't know your horses! This will be much easier with the clues.
