Geocache Description:

camoed pill bottle

This four part multi will take you to three beautiful historic churches in the Tryon area, all with rich interesting past and all still serving their parishioners after centuries of existence. You will need to obtain a two digit number from each of the three waypoints ( the churches ) in order to determine the coordinates for the final.
Waypoint 1 : You need the last two digits of the Est. date from the sign near the coords. These will be AB and will be used in formula calculation for final coords.
Waypoint 2 : Again you need the last two digits of the Est. date on the large sign near coords.. These will be CD. and will be used in formula calculation for final coords.

Waypoint 3 : Their is a stone cairn with plaques on it near coords. You need the last two digits of the ONLY date on one side of the cairn
( facing the main road side) . These will be EF and will be used in formula calculation for final coords .

Final coords calculation:

Final : N 46 14. (270 + XYZ ) / W 063 30. ( 544 + XYZ )

where XYZ = AB + CD + EF
