Geocache Description:


This cache is located in the Eastbound Wilder Road Rest Area near mile marker 161. 

I don't think I have ever seen a SOS rest area cache, tell me if I'm wrong. 




N 43 0A.BCD W 083 1E.FGH

The posted coordinates will take you to a plaque honoring PFC Dewayne T. Williams. 

A = How many times is the word "traitor" mentioned on the plaque?

B = The tenth number on the plaque minus the ninth number

C = Fill in the blanks: "...when It was _ by the enemy." Take the numerical equivalent of the first letter of that word.

D = The number of words in the second line of the plaque plus five. 


Next you must go inside the rest area, view the board, and look in the bottom left corner to answer the next set of questions

E = How many departments list 911 as their emergency number?

F = Imlay City + Port Huron (miles). Second digit of number

G = How many miles is the rest stop east of Lapeer?

H = Add the digits of the number of miles to Toronto. Divide that number by 3. 




You are looking for a regular/large container. I listed it as large because I hear people might be needing larges to fulfill a certain challenge. 

Please replace cache exactly as found and seal tightly. It should be about 4 feet off the ground. 

I did not have any Trackables with me but this would be a great place to drop some off. 

Good Luck.
