Would you like fries with that K-Pom? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

DougyB: This series of 43 caches was put out to entice Kathy (K-Pom) to make some diversions from her daily commute across Highway 7 in order to do something she loved – geocaching. It was placed for fun, but also to honour a effervescent member of our caching community.

Sadly for us, Kathy left this earthly realm in April of this year. After much consideration, I have decided to archive this series, in part to free up space so that others may place more caches. I will be by over the coming weeks to collect the containers and log sheets.

I was very happy that Kathy was able to find all of these caches and that they brought many smiles to her face. Both Kathy and I loved all of the comments that were posted over the last 3+ years. Thanks to everyone who visited these caches.

Geocache Description:

Solve this little puzzle then find the hidden bison tube.  Park at the posted parking coordinates to begin your sleuthing.


Here's a little mystery for you to solve.  At the posted coordinates is a business that K-Pom might visit when she has a hunger for golden french fries.  The business is located very close to 2 highways.  To solve the mystery, you will need to determine how many letters are in the name of the business (let's call that "M") and the number of the nearest highway (let's call that "H").

 

Assume the final is at N43 and W079.

To calculate the final of the North coordinate, divide M by 1,000 and add it to 48.445

To calculate the final of the West coordinate, divide H by 1,000 and add it to 28.958

 

The final is a hanging bison tube located nearby.
