lady_xythis: Yep, this one's a goner. It never got many visitors, so I'm going to let it go and free up the location for something new.

Geocache Description:


This cache IS at the posted coordinates. It's easy to find. Opening the cache, however, requires a little extra effort. To acquire the combination, you will need to visit the locations of the of the other three caches in this series to collect some information. Note that it is not necessary to find the other caches in order to find the required information, so this can be completed even if one of them goes missing.

Granville Series #1 - Wabash and Erie Canal Town
The number that appears most often on the historical marker.

Granville Series #2 - Cemetery
How many letters are in the word used to describe the original vegetation here?

Granville Series #3 - Sand Barrens
There are three numbers on the Dedicated State Nature Preserve sign. Add the two-digit numbers together, then divide by 9.

Each answer will be a single digit, 0-9. Enter your answers in reverse order to open the combination lock.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THIS CACHE FROM 700 W. DO NOT STOP OR PARK ON THE BRIDGE. Parking is available at the Granville Public Access Site just beyond the bridge.

Retrieval requires a little climbing. Watch out for poison ivy during summer months.

The parking area is in the flood plain so will periodically be under water when the Wabash overflows its banks. Do not attempt to reach this cache if doing so would require going through floodwater. A vehicle can be swept away in as little as six inches of water!

This is a huge cache, full of swag. Remember to trade something of equal or greater value for any item you take. Please use stealth and re-secure the cache as well as or better than you found it. Happy hunting!

Congratulations to 2wheels4cache for the FTF!
