Geocache Description:

The OTTAWA COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM consists of Presidential names that run East / West and Numbered streets running North / South. COUNTY ROADS, this does not include city streets.
Within this system there are only two intersections in the county that have the Cronological Presidential number and the President's Name that go together.

Your puzzle is to find the two intersections in the COUNTY that fit this description (not city streets). As a clue, one of them already has a cache so the container you are looking for is at the other Presidentially Numbered intersection.  The container is a purple bison tube that is hanging from the top of a double faced sign. It hangs between the sign faces. It is on the Southwest corner.

For example, President Lincoln was the 16th President, however, there is no intersection of Lincoln St. and 16th Ave. nor is there an Adams St. and 3rd Ave intersection, nor a Washington St and 1st Ave. 
************************************************************************

This is Part A of the 2nd OC Curse of the FTF series.  The FTF on the 3rd cache was shared by the Pucketts & GHBuccaneers so they both put out a new cache.  I was cursed by the "This is Grose" curse cache placed by the Pucketts on Dec 2. It is my understanding that TomKat was cursed by the Curse cache placed by GHBuccaneers.  So this cache I'm calling PART A because apparently the curse has been split. 

 
ABOUT THE SERIES:  This is a First to Find series for Ottawa County.  A few rules apply to this cache.

1)  If you get a FTF on a cache in this series you may not be FTF on another cache in this series. (This is to share the available FTF opportunities)
2)  If you are FTF on a cache in this series you must place another cache in Ottawa County within the next 30 days (if not you will be cursed to not find another FTF as long as you cache).
3)  Your cache should be titled "OC Curse of the FTF II ....  When you place your cache fill in the blanks in the statement below and add it to the bottom of the list.
(Your caching name) cursed by GC##### on (date found).  Curse lifted by (GC# of your cache) on (date cache placed)
"Per guidlines:  Please don not claim the FTF if you do not want to do the "optional" task of hiding another cache to continue the series.
