Geocache Description:


My geo-dog loves visiting the Arboretum. The numerous trails offer a wealth of ecological diversity and are a great place to take my pup for a walk. Parking is free for visitors and has been waypointed. 

At the posted coordinates you will find a sign that provides information on why dogs must be on a leash at the Arboretum. Use the information on this sign to determine the final coordinates of this multi-cache.

The final coordinates are in the format N43 32.ABC W080 12.DEF where:

 

A = The last digit of the phone extension listed at the bottom of the sign

B = Number of hazards listed in the 'Your Dog’s Safety’ section

C = The total number of coyotes pictured on the sign

D = The total number of dogs plus the total number of people pictured in the photo captioned 'We are Not an off-leash Dog Park'

E = The total number of times the word dog or dogs appears in the photo captions (do not include the text at the top and bottom of the sign)

F = The total number of people pictured on the sign

 

I like to have certitude when calculating finals, so I have included a checker to confirm that you have the correct final coordinates. 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
