Geocache Description:

This is a cache series of 13 traditional caches that will give you clues to a final 14th cache.

THIS IS THE PUZZLE - THE COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT!
YOU MUST HAVE FOUND SIX OTHERS IN THIS SERIES
TO FIND THE PUZZLE.
BUT did you REALLY think it would be that easy?
This is after all Evil Cupid.
READ the description below to find out how to solve the puzzle.







In the spirit of Evil Cupid, there are six missing numbers and you have 13 caches in which to find them.

The clues will follow the format of: N 40° 17.XXX W 75° 40.XXX

Where X represents the missing digit. Please look carefully for the position when making your notes.

Now that we have the BASE squared away.... Let's continue on shall we....

Evil Cupid here! You need to put your thinkin' caps on -- you're about ready to do some math. While it's simple math, it is lots of steps (you know -- in the interest of Evil and all, LOL!)

From your NEW North coordinates you need to do some math.
1. FIND the time the park closes and convert the the letters to numbers. ADD all these numbers together.
2. You will have a double digit. ADD those two numbers together. Keep adding any double digits together until you get ONE digit.
3. Add that number to the number of pavilions in the park.
4. Take this number and ADD it to the NORTH coordinates YOU created with your XXX. THIS is the ACTUAL NORTH Coordinates.


You also need to do a bit of math for your WEST coordinates:
1. Find the name of the park and as above, convert the letters to numbers (do NOT include the word PARK).
2. Again, keep adding the numbers together until you get a single digit. REMEMBER this number.
3. Take the number of poles that support any Pavilions and add them to the number of Pavilions in the park.
4. TAKE the result of #3 and the result of #2 and MULTIPLY THEM to get a two digit number.
5. SUBTRACT this number from your created WEST coordinates.
THIS IS YOUR NEW ACTUAL WEST COORDINATES.

**MY Evil Apologies as the cooords may be a little soft.
While ALL the other caches were places where not to take your Valentine (unless s/he also wants a cache), this might be a good place to take your Valentine or a nice place for a date! LOL


Enjoy the park and Happy Caching!

Congratulations to all First to Find!

This is the final of the series. It's a very pretty location with plenty of parking nearby. It is NOT a park and go/C & D! Be sure to grab another nearby cache and take in the beauty of the surroundings.

If you collected your numbers accurately you should be able to solve the above puzzle. Good luck and have fun!

The first 13 are meant to be quick and in the obvious Geo location. If you cannot find it -- it's probably missing, please log a DNF and/or contact the CO so that we can replace it. Thank you!


**Thanks to geojo1 for an assist on the final.



Congratulations pens66 for FTF!
