As I usually do every weekend, I took Clifford for a walk in a different place. A park, a rail trail, ... Usually unfound caches help me decide where to go. Today we went to Landis Woods, not to find a new cache, but to maintain one. After the maintenance stop, we explored the park. As we walked, we noticed the informational signs placed along the trails. It turns out there are 11 signs. In the image below, I have labeled the signs 0 through 10. Sign 0 is the trail map near parking, and not used for the calculation of the final coordinates. The sign numbers correspond with the stage numbers/names. You will need to visit all of the signs to collect the information to calculate the final coordinates. Each value is calculated using the info found on the sign and the sign number the info was found on.
Please pay careful attention to the calculations below.
