Geocache Description:


Location: Delano Public Cemetery; Delano, MN

Delano is a city in Wright County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 5,464 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Delano was platted in 1868, and named after Francis Roach Delano, a railroad official. A post office has been in operation at Delano since 1870. Delano was incorporated in 1876. Three buildings in the town are on the National Register of Historic Places: the 1880s Eagle Newspaper Office, the 1888 Delano Village Hall, and the 1893 Simon Weldele House.

Delano is home to the oldest and largest Fourth of July celebration in Minnesota. The first known Fourth of July celebration was held July 4, 1857, near Fountain Lake. The celebration lasts at least four days, and includes various forms of entertainment and activities. The celebrations begin with local baseball and softball tournaments, the arrival of the carnival in Central Park, and the coronation of Delano Royalty. The Fourth of July parade begins at 10:30 am, and the evening closes with a fireworks display.

OK so enough history, interesting that it is, now for what you will need to do to figure out the final location.

Cache is NOT inside or on Cemetery grounds but the final is not to far away.

You need to find the Mattson Bench at the posted coordinates.

Answer the following questions:

  • A = Day HE was born PLUS 4.
  • B = Month HE was born.
  • C = Quote "Our Last xxxxx". Number of letters in the last word PLUS 2.
  • D = Number of Motorcycles on TOP of the bench MINUS 1.
  • E = Number of words "What HE said" PLUS 2.
  • F = Number of words "What SHE said" MINUS 1.

Now for some quick and hopefully simple math.

N45 01 . A B C
W93 47 . D E F

That is all there is to it. You are seeking a small size container.
