A multi-cache located in Fort Hill Park in Gorham, Maine.
Located next to Fort Hill cemetary, this little park is easy to miss because there is no sign out front. If you do stop here the views are fantastic, including far off mountains and farms in the country side. The park is closed after dark.
Follow the above coordinates to find a 7 digit number. Once you find the seven digit number use them along with the original coordinates to figure out the cache location by following the equations below.
Original coordinates = N 43 41.937, W 70 27.271
If original coordinates = N 43 ww.xxx, W 70 aa.bbb
Then ww=41, xxx=937, aa=27 and bbb=271
New coordinates= N 43 YY.ZZZ, W 70 CC.DDD
where:
YY = ww + first digit - sixth digit
ZZZ = xxx + (second digit x (sixth digit + last digit))
CC = aa - fourth digit - second digit + third digit
DDD = bbb + first digit + third digit + fourth digit + fifth digit - seveth digit.
Once you have the new coordinates,
N 43 YY.ZZZ, W 70 CC.DDD,
go to those coordinates to find three 4 digit numbers.
Now take those three 4 digit numbers and represent them as:
abcd
efgh
ijkl
Then use them in the following manner to get coordinates of the cache:
N 43 4a.fbk
W 70 2(d+e).c(g+i)j
