Benchmark Hybrid #5--The Bonus Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

gamestermike&stef: I have removed Benchmark Hybrid #3 and #4 so there is no point having this puzzle here any more. I've decided that it is time for this cache to rest. This series was good while it lasted.

Geocache Description:

Don't forget to log the Benchmark online also! BYOP!
To find this geocache, you will first need to find Benchmark Hybrid #1, Benchmark Hybrid #2, Benchmark Hybrid #3, and Benchmark Hybrid #4. Locate a number at the bottom of each container and wright it down.
Will be difficult to find if there is snow.

When you have found all of the caches in the Benchmark Hybrid series, add all of the numbers you collected together. Add this number to the North coordinates and subtract the same number from the West coordinates. This will lead you to a benchmark. On the benchmark, there is a date written. Using your new coordinates, add all of the digits of the date together + 6 and then add this number to the North coordinates. Add the second digit of the date and the fourth digit together and then add that number to the West coordinates.
