Geocache Description:

Buffumville Dam Recreation area. This is one of three which can be combined to make a nice outing. This is a great area for hiking. Enjoy the area.

This is a multi-cache that requires basic math skills and eye sight.

Parking is at N42 06 949 W 071 54 449

This is an active recreation area and at times you may be on an active "golf" course. Please be courteous and share the area.

The first coordinates N 42 06 930 W 071 54 481 take you to the area next to the 19th tee. You are now looking at three sets of numbers. One set on the far side, one set in the middle(you do not need these) and one set on the near side(these are split but treat as continuous)

To get the next cooddinates you must do the math.
FAR SIDE NUMBERS N X X Y Y Z Z Z
XX equals second number from the bottom
YY subtract 4th number from the bottom from 10th number from the bottom
ZZZ equals 10th number from the bottom times 12 then add 21

NEAR SIDE NUMBERS W 0 A A B B C C C
AA equals 10th number from top added to top number
BB equals 13th number from top added to 15th number from top
CCC equals 11th number from top times 20 then add 7th from top

Now you have the numbers needed to start your hunt for the cache. These first coordinates take you to a hidden container with the coordinates for the final cache.
