None of the great minds mentioned in the title should have a problem solving this field puzzle, one that's just in time for the Geocaching Road Trip '15 for the qualifying period August 14 to September 2, 2015.
Please park near the listed coordinates and make the short stroll to the coordinates listed for Stage 1. There you will find a metal sign attached to the eastern side of a wooden signpost. Count the number of letters that are contained on the metal sign. That number of letters will be utilized to solve for the final coordinates as follows: N 30 08.XXX W095 30.YYY, where XXX = (the number of letters on the sign) + 726, and where YYY = (the number of letters on the sign) + 896.
