Geocache Description:

Multi-site cache highlighting a couple of 1894 Hinckley Fire historic markers and locations. Because of mugglers, railroad tracks (railroads played a big roll in the 1894 fire), and lack of beacons, the final cache hide isn't what and where I'd really like it to be, but it works.

Stage 1: Go to the listed coordinates and do some reading and math from what you find to determine coordinates for the second stage (N46 A.BCD; W092 EF.G). You probably won't even have to get out of the car to do this.

A = Last two numbers of how many people were carried to safety by trains
B = Number of lines in longest paragraph
C = Number of paragraphs
D = The o'clock hour in between the listed fire start time and end time
E = First number of people taken to safety by trains
F = E + 1
G = Number of Hinckley residents killed in the fire plus the number of letters in the title.

Stage 2: micro camo matchstick holder with log.

Congratulations to nwaman for being first to find this cache.
