This puzzle cache was placed in honor of the former Glen Royall
Mill in Wake Forest, NC. To find this geocache you will take a look
at the factory building which has been converted to apartments. You
will come away with the necessary coordinates for the final. When
hunting the final, please park at the given cache coordinates near
the Wake Forest College Birthplace. Then take a short sidewalk
stroll to the cache's hiding place. Please do not park at the cache
which is by permit only. This is a college campus and illegal
parking is frowned upon. The cache container is a medium lock and
lock with some camo. Please rehide so it won't be muggled. Now for
some history...This cotton mill was established around 1900 to
produce muslin sheeting. For many years, the area operated as a
separate town from Wake Forest, and was known as Royall. As was
customary, the Glen Royall Mill company provided housing, medical
care, and a store for their employees. Many of the mill homes and
other buildings can still be seen in the area. When touring one of
grand mansions at 564 North Main Street, I was told that home was
built by the mill owner to escape from the hot South Carolina
summers. The house to the right of it was built for a son and his
family, as was the home on the left corner across the drive. (
Kudos to the current owners of all historic homes for keeping them
maintained. It's got to cost a fortune!) The puzzle: N35 58.abc W78
30.def Solve the coordinates using information on the face of the
building you see when at: N35 59.419 W78 30.060. a = the number of
red doors plus the number of windows on the top floor b = pounds of
polyester produced by this mill in one shift c = e minus d d = the
number of windows on the first floor e = the number of taller
length windows on the second floor f = a minus d
