Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache in honor of Grandma Nan, with help from CTO1950 and Max the dog

I have had the idea to place a puzzle cache like this for quite a while, but never came up with the right location. CTO1950 told me he had the right location for a puzzle cache, but no puzzle. Thus, a partnership! :) I have tested this puzzle repeatedly to ensure it is solvable, thus I will not add any hints until after ftf. You are only solving for the last 5 digits of each number, the first two are the same as the posted cords. Therefore the cords are: N 43 XX.XXX W 077 XX.XXX and you are solving for the 10 X's.

Update 6/10/17 Congrats to Mud Dancer and spooko13 who both solved this puzzle without the hint AND discovered an error I made in the process! Puzzle is now fixed and (hopefully!) error free, and hint can be found below.
