Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates! You must answer some questions about the nearby Hull Oakes Lumber Company in order to learn the real cache coordinates.

As you could probably tell from the name this cache is for travel
bugs. Bring them to relax during their travels amongst the trees
with the sound of the nearby stream before moving them on again.

Now for the puzzle. You will need to solve each of the questions
below for the missing word. The first letter of each answer has
been provided to help guide you. When you are calculating your
answers you will want to use all of the letters of each single-word answer including the letter provided.

(A) Hull Oakes is the last commercial S _ _ _ _ mill in operation in the US.

(B) The mill is located in D _ _ _ _ _ Oregon.

(C) In 1986 the Hull Oakes mill sawed a single log into six, 85' long T _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

(D) One of the items from question (C) is located just down the road at B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Park.

(E) The mill's ability to cut large timber had them called upon in the 1990's to supply the decking materials for the restoration of the USS C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

(F) The mill was build in the 1930's by R _ _ _ _ Hull.

(G) In August of 1996 the mill was placed on the National Registry of H _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Places.

When calculating your answers, use the following
letter values:

A=0, B=1, ..., K=0, etc.

The final cache coordinates are:

N 44 2a.bcd
W 123 2e.fgh

where,

a = E - D
b = B + F
c = A - F
d = A + E
e = G - A
f = F - B
g = C + B
h = C - E
