Geocache Description:


For my birthday, I asked for some containers to hide some geocaches with. These are the first ones we are placing.

There a total of three caches in this multi. In order to find them, you must solve the puzzle. The first two also contain a digit for the final cache.

The locations are:

N 38 39.3ab
W 077 18.1cd

N 38 39.3ef
W 77 18.0gh

N 38 39.3ij
W 77 18.2kl

a = number of letters in PW's last name
b = number of letters in PW's mother's first name
c = fourth digit of the year PWC was formed
d = first (or second) digit of PW's age when he died
e = third digit of the year when PWC was formed
f = fourth digit of the year when PW was appointed Captain-General of the British Army
g = fourth digit of the year PW was made Ranger of Windsor Forest
h = PW's age when PWC was formed and named in his honor
i = in cache 1
j = PW's age when he was named Duke of Cumberland
k = in cache 2
l = 4th digit of the year PW was born

FTF the final stage gets a two-dollar bill.

Congratulations to CliffMcC31 for the FTF!
