Geocache Description:


Welcome to Schaefferstown! The geocache is not at these coordinates. You must enter the lobby of this post office which is open 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., 7 days a week, even holidays. No spoilers (pictures)! We don't want to ruin the fun for others. Good luck! The  postmaster gave permission, but doesn't know where the actual geocache is located. DAYLIGHT ONLY for final!

You will need to get information from the post office boxes for the final coordinates. In the lobby there are 14 sections, counting the parcel lockers, from left to right that are divided by THICK metal strips. There  are 6 columns in each section. You will count from left to right. There are rows separated by THIN metal strips. You will need to count down for each row. When you need to add digits to get sum, that means you take the numbers in the correct box and add them together. (Ex: box 350 = 3 + 5 + 0 = 8)

A = Section 10 (left to right) Column 2 (across), Row 3 (down) - sum of the digits

B = Section 5, Column 6, Row 4 - 1st digit plus 3rd digit 

C = Section 3, Column 2, Row 2 - 2nd digit minus 3rd digit

D = Section 4, Column 5, Row 4 - 3rd digit minus 2nd digit

E = Section 6, Columen 4, Row 2 - 1st digit multiplied by 2nd digit

F = Section 11, Column 3, Row 7 - 3rd digit minus Section 7, Column 6, Row 1 2nd digit

G = Section 8, Column 2, Row 4 -  3rd digit minus 2nd digit

H = Section 9, Column 6, Row 3 - 1st digit plus 3rd digit

N 40  1 A . B C D    W 7 6   1 E . F G H
