Geocache Description:


The geocache is not at the posted coordinates. The final is within walking distance of the posted coordinates.

At the posted coordinates you will find a stone block monument to Lenox Furnace.  Lenox Furnace was the original name of Lenox Dale, Massachusetts when it was an industrial area known for making both iron and glass.

Parking is available on the street nearby.  If no parking is available, Tillotson park is close and you can park there.  There is also a geocache at Tillotson Park (GC696RR - Lenox Dale Baseball Legend).

In order to find the cache you must gather a little information from this monument.

How many blocks of stone make up the monument?

Multiply the result times 33 and add to N42 20.000 to get the Latitude.

Pieces of Lenox glass are embedded in the concrete between the monument and the road.  How many pieces of glass are embedded in the small rectangular section that goes the full length of the monument directly between the monument and the road?  

Multiply this number by 6 and add 1.  Subtract that number from the West coordinate for the Longitude.
