I have a mental picture of an old elf living in a Beech tree, making shoes. Or a delicious desert made of sand (or is it a fruit?). Am I running out of puns? This is my second-ever multi. Enjoy.
You will use a sign at the posted location to get the needed numbers for the second stage.
N 42° 49.ABC W 086° 10.DEF
A = Rules and Regulations
B = Public Conduct
C = Definitions
D = Prohibited Activities
E = Animals
F = (Firearms and Weapons) minus (Fees and Charges)
Checksum = 34 (A-F)
The second stage should point you in the right direction to find the final 3rd stage.
