Geocache Description:

If you go to the coordinates shown, you will be standing on the first tee at Macktown Golf Course. Don't go there. The cache isn't there.

This can be an easy par 4 if you keep the ball in the fairway. But if you are a little to the left, the slope of the fairway will kick you into the woods. Don't go right either. More woods. I love the view from this spot and, weather permitting am there 3 days a week.

This may be a little tougher than some of my other caches. It is a Multi-Cache, Multi-Puzzle. I hope you have fun with it.

First you need to solve this logic puzzle:

When you get your answers, multiply the amount of the electric bill by 500 and subtract 19552 from the answer. Put the decimal point in the appropriate place and you have the last 5 digits of the North Coordinates following the N42.

Take the amount of the bill paid on online and multiply it times 500. Subtract 26855 from that answer and place a decimal point 3 spaces from the right. That will be your answer after the W89.

At those coordinates look for J.A. Parkhurst. We will use his date of birth to calculate the N coordinates and his date of death to calculate the W coordinates. Change his date of birth and date death into MMDDYYYY.

To his date of birth add 158 then subtract 2134866 from that answer. The result follows N42. Put the decimal in the appropriate place.

Change the date of death to MMDDYYYY. From that number subtract 2088310. Place a zero in front of your answer and then put the decimal point three spaces from the right. That number follows W89.

You now have the final coordinates.

You are looking for a little green 35 mm film tube with a rubber O ring. Bring your own pencil.
