Time to Stop Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

BronsonDW2: I came by to check on this one, and not only is the container missing, but its location is now inhabited by a family of wasps!

Sadly, that's means it's time for this one to go. Thanks to everyone who took the "Time to Stop"!!

Geocache Description:

I’ve driven past this little park probably hundreds of times, always wondering about it but never stopping to find out.  Well, today I thought it was time to stop. 


The posted coordinates will lead you to a plaque outlining the man to which this park is dedicated. To entice more people to stop and visit, I’ve used the information on this plaque to create a puzzle, leading you to the nearby final cache. The final cache can be found at the following coordinates:

N 42° AA.BCD W 73° EE.FGH

Where

AA = The number of letters in the last name, multiplied by 8.

B = Number of letters in the first word on the fourth line.

C = Number of letters in the first name.

D = Number of words on the first line.

EE = Number of letters (not including numbers or dashes) reading from “In” to “And” on lines 1-5, including both words.

F = Number of words on the last line + 1

G = # of years he served the town divided by 3

H = # of years he served the county

I hope you enjoy the puzzle and finding out the reason for this little park! I rated the terrain a 2 only because you must cross two streets from the likely parking, one of which can be extremely busy at times. Please be careful when doing so.

First to find gets an unactivated travel bug! Good luck!
