Geocache Description:

Simple redirect with lots of historical strings attached and maybe a few spooky ones.

The above coordinates will take you to Warren Street, just off of the main drag. You should be looking at a large brick wall, the west wall of the old public school.

Walk up to the wall, RIGHT UP TO IT and students will begin to appear, seriously, some of them over 100 years old. Strange as this may seem, you'll need to find two particular students, they'll have each a date you'll want to write down for some simple math to find the final.

For the lat coords: A.W. McArthur considers June 24 1XXX as special for some reason.

For the log coords: see J. McGregor about Nov 10 1YYY.

Too find the final,

XXX + 108 = 45.09.AAA
and
YYY + 119 = 074.35.BBB
where AAA = BBB (both numbers are the same)

There'll be lots of other interesting students about but the two you're looking for are always an arms reach from one another.

The final is in a more secluded spot where you can search, find, trade and sign the logbook without the worry of present day muggles. Walk to or park at the fairgrounds.

Smallish container with the usual logbook, pencils, sharpener and trade items. This cache is also the launch for my School Daze TB.
