A good cache for couch potatoes or a day when it is pouring rain. Cache might be a hard find from December to Mid-April because of snow build-up. Thanks to Stephanie and Joanna of Quebec for the idea for this cache.
To the find the coordinates of the actual cache, you will have to find four clues. This will require a short walk and a drive through rural Northeast Kingdom.
Clue 1: The first coordinates are: N44 32.156, W072 00.314Count the number of sides to the building at this location. Let "A" represent this number.
Clue 2: Walk to N44 32.162, W072 00.462. In what year did the person honored here die? Let "B" represent this number.
Clue 3: Drive to N44 35.164, W072 04.791. What year is mentioned on this monument? Let "C" represent this number.
Clue 4: Drive to N44 37.980, W072 01.587. What number is written on this important building? Let "D" represent this number.
Now, to calculate the coordinates of the cache, complete this formula: (A*C)-B-D=
ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE EXPRESSED AS FIVE-DIGIT WHOLE NUMBERS
To find the latitude of the cache, add 24853 to the answer of the formula, then put a decimal point after the second digit - you now have the minute and second portions of N44 zz.zzz To find the longitude of the cache, subtract 11316 from the answer to the formula, then put a decimal point after the second digit - you now have the minute and second portions of W072 xx.xxx
The cache is located at N44 zz.zzz, W072 xx.xxx
Good luck!
