Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache hidden on the Nickel Plate Trail next to Bunker Hill Dragstrip.

THE COORDINATES GIVEN ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF THE CACHE!

This cache has been placed with the permission of Nickel Plate Trail, Inc.

This puzzle cache on the Nickel Plate Trail is placed next to Bunker Hill Dragstrip. The website for the Dragstrip has some interesting information about the track and races held here. The coordinates given are not the location of the cache, instead they are the coordinates of where I took the photo from. I will give you two possible ways to find this cache.

1. The cache is placed EXACTLY the same number of feet from the coordinates given as the length in feet that the races run here are timed for.

2. As part of the panels placed between the track and the trail there are some old signs. Find the sign for the Attorney at Law which has the phone number: 317-ABC-4402. Divide the ABC by 2 to get the last three digits of the North coordinates. Find the sign for the Realtor with the phone number: 765-689-XYZ3. Subtract off 012 from the XYZ to get the last three digits of the West coordinates.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Cache container is a peanut butter jar with an assortment of trade items and includes a Nickel Plate Trail pathtag for the first cacher that has not acquired one yet. For the closest parking area see: GC1HFQD Bunker Hill Stop #1 (NPT)
