Geocache Description:

A small monument put in place to pay homage to Medford's early aviators.


NOTE:  The cache is not listed at the posted coordinates!  Once you solve the mystery, the true cache coordinates will be revealed.

This mystery cache can be completed by stopping at the monument and finding the information needed to solve for the missing coordinates.  It's a unique piece of Southern Oregon history and highlights Medford's first airport.  Take the time to read, reflect, and enjoy this little area while deciphering the clues and solving the mystery.

Use the information on the monument to solve the equation:

N 42  (Age of pilot) (Length of runway minus 1031)

W 122  (Last three Roman numerals plus 35) (Width of runway)(Number of M's in Roman numerals)

Please, please, please do NOT post any of the answers in the log!  No hints, clues, or photos either.  Thank you and enjoy!
