Geocache Description:

CAUTION - Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

The cache is located at an intersection where a rural route from Kingston meets a rural route from Woodstock.

Congratulations to Lilitchpin on FTF!

To find the coordinates for the cache, solve the following:

N 4A BC.0DE
W 074 FG.HIJ

You will need the zip codes for both Kingston and Woodstock.

A = 2nd digit of the Kingston zip code.
B = 4th digit of the Kingston zip code.
C = 5th digit of the Kingston zip code.
D = 1st digit of the Kingston zip code.
E = 3rd digit of the Kingston zip code.
F = 4th digit of the Kingston zip code.
G = 3rd digit of the Woodstock zip code.
H = 4th digit of the Woodstock zip code minus 3rd digit of the Woodstock zip code.
I = 5th digit of the Woodstock zip code.
J = 4th digit of the Woodstock zip code minus the 2nd digit of the Woodstock zip code.

The solved coordinates will bring you to an area called Zena - Waughkonk, which in Native-American tongue means low meadows or marsh. The Dutch translation is VanDaal and English translation is VanDale.
I've lived half my life about a half mile NW of this spot.
I also delivered the mail whose route runs past this spot.

Bring your own writing utensil.
