Geocache Description:

THIS GEOCACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!

But it is a good place to start your quest as it is Waypoint #1 in a set of 4.

A short fact finding drive, and a quick walk into the woods for the final.

Welcome folks to Quaker Rd! I drive down this road often and thought the abundance of roadside history would make a nice little reason for a puzzle along with a bit of a local history lesson as well. This puzzle will take you to a total of 4 roadside history signs, each of which you will have to gather information from to complete the puzzle and gain the final cache coordinates. These signs are all view-able from the side of the road and can be distinguished by their brilliant blue backgrounds with bright yellow, raised lettering. A coordinate checker is provided for the final hide.

Every good geocacher knows to always BYOP, an unsigned log can't be counted as a found geocache. Good luck!!


The cache coordinates are:  N43 0A.BCD  W077 4W.XYZ.

Translate the questions for each answer correctly and it should be a walk in the park. 

  • Waypoint #1 you will acquire "A"= the amount of times the number "5" appears on the sign. , & "W"= the combined sum of the number of letters in the two words at the very top of the sign, on the sides of a familiar symbol.
  • Waypoint #2 contains "B"= Site of first ______ (number of letters in the word), & "X"= Third number in the date the building was used until.
  • Waypoint #3 will have your "C"= Last digit in the year this property was used as a Grange Hall, & "Y"= The amount of times the letter "U" appears on the sign.
  • Waypoint #4 will provide you with your "D"= The last digit in the final year this early site was used, & "Z"= The number of times the letter "Q" appears on the sign.
