Geocache Description:

Special thanks to model12 for rescuing the wayward cache container from the gentleman who found it abandoned and kindly reported it; this cache has been stocked with some of the remaining items from the original cache, along with some new items.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find it, you must first find the original posted coordinates for the cache (now archived) from which it was resurrected, and then ask Google to help you find a couple of four-digit numbers associated with the original cache’s namesake, with which to do some math. One of the numbers - call it XYZZ - is the year that namesake was established and the other - call it ABCD - is the year Mary Catharine died (and also happens to be the year I was born!). Reverse the order of the last three digits of ABCD, subtract 1 from each digit, and subtract the result from the decimal portion of the North minutes of the original posted coordinates. Replace the last two digits of XYZZ with a single zero so as to form a three-digit number divisible by 10 and add this number to the decimal portion of the West minutes of the original posted coordinates. Please be careful to reconceal the cache well.
