Geocache Description:


This is a field puzzle cache! You will find a memorial bench at GZ. Use the information on the bench to complete the puzzle and get the coords to the final location.

A = Count all the letters on the sign and multiply by 2. Now add 10 to that.
B = How many letters are in the last name? Now add the first digit of the year of death.

2 rules about hunting caches in this preserve: No caching after dusk, and no pets allowed. Please follow these rules and everyone can have fun!

This cache is placed with permission from the Winnebago County Forest Preserve District which was granted to me with the issuance of permit # 2235.

Most of the caches in this forest preserve have been placed within 100 feet of a well established trail, but there are a few that are exceptions. Please come prepared to walk at least 3 miles if you plan on clearing out the whole park while you're here. If you find anything wrong with any of these hides (wet log, broken container, etc.) please make sure to let me know so that I can make repairs. Enjoy your hike!
