Geocache Description:


The Far West is well known for Ghost Towns, but Waushara County has its fair share of them too. Welcome to what once was Fargoville. At the posted coordinates you will see a sign describing the sad history of a town known as Fargoville (among other names during its short history).

To find the container, use the information on the sign to answer the clues below.

The cache is at N44 A.BCD W89 E.FGH

A = number of brothers that built a saw and grist mill on Willow Creek

B = number of letters in the word after "Butter"

C = third digit in the year the town was renamed Fargoville

D = second digit in the year the last buiding was torn down

E = number of partners the brothers had in their original business venture

F = third digit in the year the brothers dissolved their business partnership

G = last digit in the year the last building was torn down

H -= the decade into which the school operated

Final is not within easy walking distance from the sign. Parking will be difficult during the winter at both the informational sign and final location if there has been plowing.

Proudly brought to you by the students enrolled in the History and Civil Engineering Departments of Sandland Travel Bug University.

Wood Chippers were not used in the construction of this puzzle or cache.
