RoxieMama: Apparently the park has had some changes made to it. Archiving this since the puzzle can't be solved as it's written up.

Thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:

The Lumber Museum is located on the land that used to be used originally by the Knapp Stout Company for lumbering starting in the 1800's. There are numerous signs here that you can get your information from in order to solve this puzzle and find the cache.






To find the answers to this cache, you will need to read some of the signs and also take the tree walk.

A = Count the number of letters in the first and last name of the man the bench between trees 2 & 4 is dedicated to. Then subtract 2.

Q = Number for the Witch Hazel Tree
R = Number for the Elm
S = Number for the River Birch
T = Find the Year the Chronotype was quoted about the Concrete Pillars. Add those 4 digits together.
BC = Q + R + S - (T*2)

D = number of letters in what the pillars supported

X = The number of pillars still on the museum park grounds. Make sure you get all of them!
Y = Add together the 4 individual digits of the earliest year in the chronology.
EF = X+Y+10


Final Cache coordinates:

N 45° 29.ABC W 091° 43.DEF
