Geocache Description:

Please bring your own writing utensil.

The Village of Lohrville was a bustling little community during the heyday of the quarrying of granite in the area. The Bannerman spur of the railroad passed through Lohrville right along a few of their quarries, most notably Flynn's and the West Point quarry. All of the Lohrville quarries are privately owned at the present and therefore are closed to public access. This cache was designed to take you to places that are adjacent to some of the area quarries, where you are able to see the brightly colored red granite that still occupies the hills in vast amounts.

The first waypoint takes you in front of a storage building. Behind and to the right of the building you can see the location of one quarry. You will need the address off of the front of this building.

The second waypoint (N44 01.962 | W089 07.713) takes you to the driveway of another quarry. The sign at the end of the driveway says that the quarry houses the _________ _________ Dive Park. You will need to remember those two words to solve for the final.

The final is located along the old route of the railroad as it passed near Flynn's Quarry. Flynn's quarry can actually be viewed fairly well from the edge of the road near the guardrail. Please be careful of the traffic in the area.

The final is located at 44 01.ABC 089 08.DEF

A = The last digit in the address of the storage building
B = The second digit in the address of the storage building MULTIPLIED by 2
C = The number of letters in the first word naming the dive park MINUS 3
D = The first number in the address of the storage building MINUS 1
E = 1
F = The number of letters in the last word naming the dive park PLUS 2

The proper geocache notification form has been submitted to the Director of the Waushara County Parks Department because the cache is located upon Waushara County Park property.
