Geocache Description:

This is a rather pretty spot on the west side of the Quivira Basin, looking toward the passage to open ocean known as the Passage Channel, and Mission Point. Close by is a nice little park setting & Gazebo, as well as ample parking and public restrooms.

Soldier Laddie

* * * * *
At the above coordinates you will find a plaque affixed to a rock that stands taller than the rest.
It is in memory to a man we know nothing of beside his name, and his dates of birth and death. But he was important to someone at least.

* * * * *
To find your final coordinates and thus the cache (a nano - sorry, we had few choices), you must first solve the following simple math puzzle from the items listed:

N32º 45.535 – (A+B)–(C+D) = N32º 45._____

W117º 14.544 – ((E+F+G) ÷ H) = W117º 14._____

A = the total number of letters in our Soldier Laddie’s FIRST name

B = the total number of letters in our Soldier Laddie’s MIDDLE name

C = Number of trash cans at the gazebo area

D = Number of water fountains to be found in the park area

E = Total number of picnic tables at the gazebo

F = Total number of trees in the round-about

G = Number of Bird-of-Paradise plants next to the restroom building

H = Number of handicap parking spaces

LOG ONLY - BYOP (BRING YOUR OWN PEN)

Good luck and happy Caching!
