Not too long ago I started a new job, with the Washington County
Sheriff’s Department. As a result of this, I now get to spend a
fair amount of time in places in the state I had not previously
ventured. A lot of courts and quite a few small towns I never
really paid much attention to before. Now I am starting to know
them quite well due to various patrol duties. So, to celebrate my
new gainful employment and also to help spread awareness of some of
the places you might not otherwise visit I have decided to place
this set of caches.
The rule for this cache is simple. You have to collect all the
other caches in this series, there are 20 of them, placed in the 20
different towns in Washington County. Once you have found and
logged all 20 towns you can go and get the final, this one. I have
made this a puzzle on its own so you can solve for the coordinates
whenever you choose, but you must have been to all 20 towns or I
will delete your log.
At the posted coordinates you will find a very quaint little
building, alot of armed people in uniform and a very nice
dispatcher who has never been caching, but is facinated with it.
There is no need to actually go into the building to solve the
puzzle, just stand outside and admire the architecture. Don't
worry, the dispatcher knows to expect you there, so you are not
likely to get arrested for trespassing.
To solve for the coordinates to the final, you will need 44
A.BCD, 072 E.FG (as a note, the final for this one is no where near
the posted coordinates at all. In fact, it is over 15 miles
away! This is meant to be a tour of the entire county after all. So
don't expect to walk from one to the other.)
A = The first letter of thefirst word on the sign telling you
what is in the building, +3
B = The 7th letter in that same word.
C = The first letter in the third word on the sign.
D = The third digit in the building's erected date.
E = The first two digits in the building's erected date, -3
F = Total number of letters on the scroll within the crest.
G = Total number of trees on the sign.
And for those wondering about the name of the cache series, it
is in honor of the current Sheriff of Washington County, W. Samuel
Hill.
I have included a couple of date books from the department to
act as logs. Please sign them on the day you found the cache. Also
in the container is a roll of instant deputizations for anyone who
makes it out to the cache. Though I have to tell you, it has no
legal weight and probably won't hold up in court if you start
pulling people over.

It's been fun But now I'm done. Many thanks to Fugglestone for
