Geocache Description:

Should'nt be too difficult. You probably won't want to walk this one though since you will be going all over town.

This is the second cache that I have hidden. I decided to try putting together a Multicache for my second attempt. This cache will take you on a little tour of my life. I have spent a lot of time at each of the 4 locations and I hope that everyone enjoys the tour.
I also hope, since this is my first multi, that it doesn’t get too complicated. If it does let me know and I will change things around.
To figure out the coordinates for each stage you will have to give letters numerical values. It’s just as easy as it sounds. A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on. Once you figure out the values you will have to place a decimal after the first 2 numbers to get the final number. Then it’s time to do some math.

BRING A PEN AN A CALCULATOR.

Stage 1
Take the first 4 letters in the last name that is on the building. (Note that these letters spell out something that is common in males and in some females.) Give each letter a numerical value and add 10.152 for the North and add 32.108 for the West. You now have the coordinate for stage 2.

Stage 2
Take the 4 letter word in the name on this building and give each letter a numerical value. Subtract 18.444 from this number for North and add 2.976 to the number for West. You now have the coordinates for stage 3.

Stage 3/Final
Take the 5 letter word in the name on this building and give each letter a numerical value. Subtract 10.5011825 from this number for North and add 11.9198175 for West. You now have the coordinates for the final location of the cache.
