Geocache Description:

This is the fourth in the series of our patriotic caches. Welcome to the Croatian Village of Adriatica, located in McKinney, TX. The given coordinates bring you to the focal point of the village, the Adriatica Bell Tower. The cache is not at the tower. You will have to solve the puzzle by observing details of the bell tower and adjacent Adriatica Stone. Additional information of interest is the signs about the sculpture and the ship coming to Adriatica.

To calculate the coordinates for the Let Freedom Ring cache: You will need to determine the following numbers to solve the equations for the final coordinates. A = Bell tower address C = Chapter of verse on front of Adriatica Stone D = Day of U.S. Declaration of Independence N = Number of verse on back of Adriatica Stone R = Number of metal railings above tower door W = Number of windows with glass above tower door Y = Year of U.S. Declaration of Independence (all four numbers) Your math and observation skills will determine how quickly and accurately you calculate the final coordinates using the following equations: FINAL COORDINATES: N 33 11.(2N + 8R + (W x W) + Y/2) W 096 42.(582 - (A + C + D)) The container is a camoed large pill bottle. The actual difficulty of the final is 1.5/1.5 - added overall difficulty is due to time, puzzle-solving, and possible muggles at the final location.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
