Geocache Description:

Cache is not located at the listed coordinates

Solve this Puzzle for "Ferry across Siuslaw" to find the coordinates to the final location.
Here is a simple puzzle to solve:
Have you ever heard the one about a farmer traveling with a fox, a goose, and a bag of grain?
The farmer comes to a river and finds a small boat that will hold only two passengers. For obvious reasons, he can't leave the fox alone with the goose, or the goose with the grain. If left alone together the fox will eat the goose, the goose will eat the grain. How does he get his cargo safely to the other side?
Final Coordinates are:
N43 57.ABC W124 06.DCE
A = Subtract one from this number. How many trips across the river does it take to get the farmer, fox, goose and the bag of grain to the other side safely?
B = Subtact 11 from this number. What year was the Siuslaw Bridge open for traffic, and what is the total of the numbers in the year?
C = The fourth prime number.
D = C - the second prime number
E = What mammal is depicted on the weather vane on the top of the Gazebo and how many letters are in it's name? Subtract 2 from that.
