Geocache Description:

#3 in a series of caches, with some tidbits of history.


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Solve the short puzzle below to obtain the coordinates for the final location.

1948 - Brothers Dick and Mac shut down their Bar-B-Q restaurant on Fourteenth and E streets in San Bernardino, CA, for three months for alterations. In December it reopens as a self-service drive-in restaurant. The menu is reduced to nine items: hamburger, cheeseburger, soft drinks, milk, coffee, potato chips, and a slice of pie.The staple of the menu is the 15 cent hamburger.

**********************************************************************************************************************

This particular location was here long before the major tollway next to it was built.

 

To obtain the coordinates for the final, you must visit the posted coordinates. In addition to feeling like you are waiting in line, you will see three small rectangular signs in your field of vision hanging underneath the eaves of this building. The nearest sign will contain all letters, and the second and third nearest signs will contain letters and a number.

For the North coordinate, use the posted north coordinate and add the following computation to the last three digits:

(The total number of letters seen on those three signs times 6), plus the numeral on the third sign.

Now, for a construction adjustment, subtract 23 from the last three digits of the computed north

For the West coordinate, use the posted west coordinate and subtract the following from the last three digits:

The total number of letters on the sign nearest to you plus the number of letters on the sign farthest from you, multiplied by the numeral on the farthest sign. Then add the numerals on the middle sign and the farthest sign.

Now, for a construction adjustment, add 92 to the last three digits of the computed west
