We have set up several caches that you can find by walking,
riding a bike or using horses. All of these caches are located
along the 8.2 mile long road that follows Mackinac Island's shore,
M-185. It's a bit of a trip so we are making it worth your time by
placing a series of caches for you to find. They are setup to walk
counter clockwise around the island or when you walk off the boat
docks turn right. The above waypoint is the starting point of this
cache. At this waypoint you will find a sign labeled "Lake Shore
Nature Trail". The first sign will look like the following:
All signs will look like this one. Starting at this sign follow
the trail as the arrows show. The final cache's waypoint you start
with is:
N45 52.6AB W84 37.4YZ
You will need to replace the letters in the above waypoint with the
answers that you solve from the following questions. As you search
some of the signs for the answers you need to look for arabic
numeral digits only, as in (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). Words
are not part of the answers (zero, one, two, ...).
From the sign labeled "Wetlands - Lands That Is All
Wet"
A = Find the percentage that Michigan has lost of it's wetlands.
Take the ones digits.
From the sign labeled "Tamarack Trees"
B = Count how many circled images of trees.
From the sign labeled "Plant Distribution"
Y = Will equal the number of the pictures, subtract 1 from this
quantity.
From the sign labeled "Bird Migration On Mackinac
Island"
Z = Find the quantity of birds pictured on this sign and subtract 1
from this number.
To check your answers:
Adding A + B = 8
Adding Y + Z = 9
