Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache. The container is not at the indicated coordinates.



Upton runs a geocaching store. I think he's a con man. Or maybe he's just not too bright. His prices make no sense! Take a look at some of these prices and you'll see what I mean:

pen $15
logbook $35
nano $20
ammo can $35

How much would a bison tube cost? Let that be A.
How much would a pencil cost? Let that be B.
How about for a hiking pole? Let that be C.
Whenever I ask for a GPSr, he says he's out of stock. Let the GPSr price be D.

The final coordinates for this cache are at:

N 45 ww.xxx
W 123 yy.zzz

where:

ww = A - 10
xxx = (B * D) - 28
yy = (C + 10) / D
zzz = (C * (D - yy)) - yy

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

The coordinates will bring you for a nice drive in rural Washington County. A simple cache for a simple puzzle. You're looking for a micro which shouldn't be hard to find once you're at the indicated coordinates. This is log-only, please bring your own writing implement.
