PAY IT FORWARD-YELLOWMACH aka JUMPING JACKS Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

yellowmach: The two hosts at stage two that housed the coordinates, at various times, have finally been reclaimed by nature. The hosts played an important role, but not as important as the long hikes required to complete this hide. The area around stage two is prone to seasonal flooding and the container housing the final coordinates likely floated downstream. The final has been retrieved as the contents where as dry as the day hide it years ago. Thanks to all who took the time to complete this and also the ones who found it simply by looking in the right direction at the right time.

Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES

This cache was inspired by a few other cachers. Greenback for the concept, albeit toned down and amped up. EnPleinAire for encouraging me to place my first cache. This is a three stage cache which will take you to two very different environments. Be very observant of your surroundings at stage 1.

A=Number of letters in the largest word.
B=Add all digits of date together inclusive of month.
C=Number of letters in eleventh word from the end.
D=Total number of children.
E=Number of boys multiplied by the number of girls plus the number of red letters.
F=What year was a nearby tree dedicated?

STAGE 2 COORDINATES

North 42 Degrees [C-E].[A*C*E+97]
West 88 Degrees[B*D-38]. [F*D-5303]

Please replace stage 2 in the exact same location. Other hiding places are deep and could make it irretrievable. Feel free to linger here, it is quite picturesque. First, second and third to find prizes.

Congratulations to Geogil for making his way through the snow for a well desrved FTF.
