Geocache Description:

Hello and welcome to the Harriet Keeler Shelterhouse in the Brecksville Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. I've hosted a Geocaching event at this wonderful outdoor venue for the past seven years, but admittedly know little about the woman the shelter is named after. To find this cache, you'll have to learn a little about this great woman and her impact on education and naturalism in this area.


Ms. Keeler taught in the Cleveland public school system for 38 years and even served as a temporary superintendent of schools. She also showed a passion for nature and the outdoors and was an accomplished writer. Thumbing through her writings, one is reminded of the knowledge and pleasure she has provided to explorers of open fields and forests in Cleveland and throughout the country. I can't help but think that if Geocaching were around during her life, she would have enjoyed it as much as we do.

At the posted coordinates you'll find a sign with some information about Ms. Keeler and the history of the shelterhouse. To solve the puzzle, just find the following numbers and plug them in to the coordinates below.

 

N 41 19.ABC W 081 36.DEF

 

A: The third digit (tens position) of the approxmate year the picture was taken of the Shelterhouse while under construction

B: The number of times the letter R appears in the headline of the sign

C: The third digit (tens position) of the year the rear "T" section was completed

D: The number of people in the large image with feathered edges plus three
