Geocache Description:


We thought this would be a nice cache to remember the past, not only the farm, but also the wind.
When arriving at the GZ, you need to find two words and a year. Using the following table, assign a number to each letter. Add the numbers of these two words together (DOG= 26), this will be the value of A.

A1 B2 C3 D4 E5 F6 G7 H8 I9 J10 K11 L12 M13
N14 O15 P16 Q17 R18 S19 T20 U21 V22 W23 X24 Y25 Z26

(A x 4)= __ + 54= C

Now add the numbers of the year together. This will be the value of D.

(D x 50)= __ + 9= F

Coordinates to next step:

N 42 06._C_
W 89 15._F_

Don't forget BYOP & math is fun!
