For this geocache you will have to go to each of the 4 waypoints and extract the specified letter from the scientific name of the tree at the location (The scientific name is listed on a plaque at about chest height on each tree).
After you gather all 4 letters, rearrange them to make a Valentine’s Day themed word. This will show you the correct order of the variables. Convert these letters to their corresponding number in the alphabet,(ie. A=1,B=2,…,Z=26), and then put them into the final coordinates to find the geocache location. The first letter in the word corresponds to variable A, the second corresponds to variable B, the third corresponds to variable C, and the fourth corresponds to variable D.
Stage 1 (Starting Location)
Once you find this tree look at the scientific name on its plaque and record the 6th letter.
Stage 2
Once you find this tree look at the scientific name on its plaque and record the 2nd letter.
Stage 3
Once you find this tree look at the scientific name on its plaque and record the 1st letter.
Stage 4
Once you find this tree look at the scientific name on its plaque and record the 3rd letter.
Final location
