Geocache Description:


 

Identify the hidden  numbers (one per image)

Subtract the product of the odd numbers from the product of the even numbers

Hint: The 3-digit answer should end in 9

Sum the years of birth

Hint: One has not yet been born

Hint: Your 5-digit answer should end in 3

Identify each object and extract the first letter of the object's one-word name

Convert (A=1 Z=26)

Add the odd numbers to the product of the even numbers

Hint: In no particular order, the names should end with: ss/en/ji/in/as/ra/nt/or

Locate each site in Google Earth

Sum the degrees of latitude for the site (don't include minutes and seconds)

Hint:  The 3-digit solution should end in 6

Compute the product of the first non-zero digit of each value

Hint: The answer should have 3 digits and end with 0

Use Wikipedia whenever possible to ensure a data match.

You should now have a list of 17 digits. 

Next, sequentially assign each digit a letter, beginning with A and ending with Q.

Finally, build the coordinates of the cache as follows:

N GQ° GA.NBP    W KMD° GI.QKE

A good place to park is near the listed coordinates.  From here, there is a pleasant walk of half a mile on a mostly paved trail.

The cache is an ammo box and should be accessible in snowy conditions.
