To compute:
AB add the digits of the miles to Chattanooga and multiply by two then subtract 3 for a two digit number (AB). Example If there are 154.3 miles to Chattanooga 1 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 13 x 2 = 26 – 3 = 23 How many miles to Chattanooga?
CDE James Bond’s license number with the number grater than one moved to the middle of the three digit number
To compute:
VW How far is it from Meridian to Chattanooga? Subtract 239.4 and you will compute VW
YZ subtract 111.1 from the distance to Meridian to compute YZ
The cache is in a wooded area between two roads.
I would suggest approaching this from the south or east where the road is less traveled and safe parking is abundant
