Geocache Description:

NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!!!!

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water. Forces of Nature. Nobody said it was going to be easy. In attempting this cache, you may notice the effects of these forces.

To get the coordinates, you will first have to find AND LOG (either Retrieved or Discovered is fine) four Travel Bugs. Each bug has with it a numerical value you will need in the equation below. The bugs and their reference numbers are:
Forces of Nature: Earth (TB11WBC)
Forces of Nature: Wind (TB11DCF)
Forces of Nature: Fire (TB21054)
Forces of Nature: Water (TB21PKC)

Put the numerical value you find written on the bug into the equations, and the answer, in order, into the blanks.
North Coord: (Earth x Wind) + (Fire x Water) + 4106 = _ _ _ _ _ Put these into: N44 _ _._ _ _

West Coord: (Earth x Fire) + (Wind x Water) + 6922 = _ _ _ _ _ Put these into W 093 _ _._ _ _

You MUST log the travel bugs on their respective pages (either Retrieved or Discovered is fine) to get credit for the final find of the cache. PLEASE keep the bugs circulating with 20 miles of Faribault, MN.

Included in the initial swag are a couple of unactivated geocoins for FTF/STF: 5-Star Climbing geocoin, and Forces of Nature geocoin. This is my 50th hide, and fellow cachers dlgps have graciously released a 50th Hide Geocoin (TB1P0H1) for me, and it begins it's journey from this cache.

Disclaimer: Please use safety gear as appropriate, and no ladders allowed.

11/24/2015 NOTE: Earth and Water tb's seem to be missing, so no need to log those. The codes for those are: Earth=79 Water=66
11/25/2015 NOTE: Fire seems to be gone, too, so Fire=98
