Geocache Description:

A common cache location. The cache is in a single lane location on a dirt road which is heavily traveled. Park WEST of the location and the GPS coordinates are the starting point, not the exact location. This was done to follow the story line. The fenced property surrounding the road is private so don't wonder.

This is a Numbers cache. You will need to do the math to find the cache!
 
For simplicity we will keep the numbers small, two digit, and between 11 and 99 so pick a number between 11 and 99.
'DR' is equal to your number in the example.
   
Add the two digits of your number together.  (DR) D + R = XY
Subtract the result from your number.  (If XY is a single digit number then X is a Zero.) DR - XY = VZ
Add the two digits of the remainder together. (If VZ is a single digit number then V is a Zero.) V + Z = N
The result (N) is the number you are looking for. N
   
Count 'N' upright beams from the West end on the North side and that is where you will find the cache. 
     
 

Happy Caching!
