Sitting on the Dock o' the Swamp! Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cachin Commander: As sad as it makes me I have to believe this one has run its course. I no longer live in the area and no one has stepped up to adopt it. I feel its more important to release the area for future caching opportunities than hold it closed in the slim hope someone will take it over. Thanks to all cachers for a great run.

Geocache Description:

A nice little wetland where the local community has taken the time to add a dock to get you out to the lilly'd valley.   Take the time to come early and see a sunrise and enjoy a cup of joe from a thermos as you sit on the dock of the swamp.  Makes life a little better.


So a simple multi to get your brain engaged after your visit.  Just figure the math to make the grab.

The cache can be found at

N 31 43.XXX   W 081 14.YYY

 

The formulas:

XXX = 422 + (AA x B x C x D)

YYY = 729 - [(AA + C) x D]

 

The clues:

AA = The number of deck boards on the dock floor. (Not the walkway just the dock)

  B = The number of wooded turns you made to get to the deck floor.

  C = The number of places you can sit on the deck and count the floor boards.

  D = The number of sunsets you can view in the morning with your coffee from your seat.

Don't overthink it!  Just enjoy the serenity of the location and try not to roll your eyes when you see the answer.
