Geocache Description:

This multi-cache involves the use of searching for landmarks and the use of basic arithmetic to discover the coordinates of the cache hidden above a rock wall in a wooded area. 

Use the tower to your advantage to solve the steps that will uncover the coordinates of the cache.  You will need the date on the plaque at the base of the tower.  The date correlates with the letters ABCD; each unit represents a letter which will be put in an equation in the next coordinates.  For example; the 1 in the date is represented by the letter A in the next coordinates.  You will also need to go to the top of the tower to discover some numbers that will make up the coordinates when plugged in.  You are given part of the coordinates.
N _ _ degrees _ 8. _ _ _
W _ 4 degrees _ 7. _ 7 _

N [(# of floorboards on top level of tower) + 1] degrees (# of staircases) 8. (B-A) (go up 7 steps from the bottom, look up for a number) (A)
W (B) 4 degrees ( # of trees in inner circle surrounding tower) 7. ( # of distinct water towers) 7 ( # of staircases )  

Before you set out for the last stage, visit the link below and enter the coordinates you have come up with to make sure they're leading you to the right spot.
