Down On The Farm Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

QuadCachers: This Cache has been seriously vandalized. Since we have moved out of town, we unfortunately need to archive the cache. We hope some other geocacher will hide a cache in this wonderful park. Although, we suggest one hide the cache far away from our spot since this is not the first time it has been vandalized.

Geocache Description:

Once all farm land, this area is quickly being developed into housing subdivisions. The 3 part cache is located in a park which has the farm theme. Find the correct numbers to fill in "X" and "Y" for the final cache coordinates.

The above coordinates are the parking coordinates. You?ll need to solve the puzzle to get the final coordinates for the hidden cache. There is some math involved. Those mathematically challenged may want to bring a calculator. Extra points to those who find the final cache without decrypting the codes!

Hidden Cache- N 39. 57. _X_
W 86.12._Y_

North Coordinate (Latitude)- First find a large bolt, about 2 inches in diameter, that has a three digit number. There is more than one bolt. They all have the same number! Solve this math problem to plug in the final "X" numbers:
3 digit number on Bolt +436= X

West Coordinate (Longitude)- On the Welcome and Information sign, there is a phone number. Solve this math problem to plug in the final "Y" numbers:
Add the 7 digits of the phone number (found on the Welcome sign)+493= Y

Once you have found the bolt, Welcome sign and plugged in the numbers, you will be ready to hunt for your hidden cache. The hidden cache is a tubberware container with a black top and camouflage duct tape around the sides. PLEASE re-hide well!! Good luck!

Initial contents: Rooster, Cow, Pretend Ear of Corn, Pig Beanie, Tractor, Dump Truck, Crop Duster and Farm Postcards (take one to send to your friends)
