Geocache Description:

This cache is located near the Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail. It can be found at the base of a rise dubbed "Flag Hill" by the youngest member of team pipperice (extra special bonus brownie points if you can figure out why).

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but is within walking distance.

The posted coordinates will lead you to a plaque dedicated to the memory of a local resident. The plaque contains all the information you need to solve the puzzle and calculate the actual cache coordinates. Now, on with the puzzle:

a = The age this person lived to be.
b = The number of interests listed that this person enjoyed.
c = Total number of letters in the first two lines of the dedication.
d = The number of letters in this person's last name.

YYY = a x b
XXX = (c x d) + YYY

Plug your results into the following formula to determine the actual cache coordinates:

N37 49.XXX W122 08.YYY

This is our first multi-cache. You are looking for a decorated ammo-can that I picked up during GeoWoodstock VI and is full of goodies.
