"Where can the cache be? Is it under a tree? Perhaps, it may be. Now, let us see."
The cache is on school property. There is no need to visit the neighbors.

--- STEP 1 ---
Start at N43° 13.096, W087° 56.412
Begin by finding the sign at these coordinates. You'll discover that Becky Pleister was a well-loved (special ed) teacher at Lake Shore Middle School. In June 2000, a pine tree was planted in her memory. Read the memorial plaque to answer these questions:
A = the number of letters in the first word of the sixth line
B = the number of letters in the third word of the sixth line
C = the number of letters in the second word of the sixth line

--- STEP 2 ---
Now, use the information from above to complete this code.
Go WSW for 212 paces. If you're not sure the length of a pace, this is more precise:
Go WSW for BAC feet. (BAC are the numbers from the clue in Step 1.)

Congratulations to furryhermit on the FTF on June 21, 2011. Your persistence paid off, and your feedback helped me correct errors in the clues. Now the clues are right!

And, thank you for visiting Lake Shore Middle School.
