The actual cache is a micro located somewhere inside the
Cookeville city limits. To find this cache, you must visit this
historic marker to find out:
1. The year the land was purchased = ABCD
2. The year the college was opened = EFGH
The cache is located at:
N 36° X.Y
W 085° Z.0R
X = B + H
Y = (A*B*C*G*E*H)+(C*F)+G
Z = (G*C)+B+H
R = C*G
(i.e. if year = 1946 => A=1, B=9 , C=4, D=6)
Please place the cache back as you found it. Thanks for
playing!
