Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, so no reason to go there.

You must solve the puzzle to be given the final coordinates.

Easy enough to track down once….

XOXOXOXO

I guess this qualifies as a two part mystery?

XOXOXOXO

Part one is find out who Waldo is.

XOXOXOXO

Well ok, not Waldo, since this puzzle applies to a real historic person.

XOXOXOXO

So XOXOXOXO to those who look (just ignore all the kisses).

Take the last two digits of the person’s year of birth, multiply by ten

and then add 38 to that number.  Take this final number and subtract

it from  the last three digits of the posted north / south  coordinates to

get the final three digits of the north / south coordinates.

Take the last two digits of the person’s year of death, multiply by five

and add 5 to that number.  Subtract this number from the posted

W / E coordinates to get the last 4 digits (x.xxx) of the final W / E

coordinates.

If solved, give yourself one big final HUG.

Please no spoilers in logs.  Let everyone earn their own HUG.

No special TOTT should be required to retrieve the container 

or the log.

 

There is no legal parking at the final GZ but there is within 200 feet.

D/T reflects puzzle requirements the actual cache itself is more a

D1.5 or D2.0 / T1.5.

Congratulations to w01f for a quick, early AM first-to-find.
