Geocache Description:


This cache will be impossible to do if there is snow on the ground

This is an offset cache with the first part of the cache giving you the location of the final prize.

A calculator WILL be required!


There is no cache to find at the first set of co-ordinates, just information. You will need to drive from the first location to the second (approximately 2 miles).

 Park in Simpson Ct in Wallingford at N41*27.276 W72*49.093.

This is the center of town, You'll find three nice restaurants within falling distance so if you want a bite to eat before you start your caching, this'd be the perfect time!

There are a couple of park benches facing each other at the given coordinates. Sit down, take a rest, then work out the answers to the following:

(a) When did Edward Cox retire as postmaster?

(b) When was the First Baptist Church Founded?

(c) When was Tessie Flis born?

(x) When did George Madden pass away?

(y) When were Chas and Nora Brooks married?

(z) The sum of the three numbers on the "Leiss - Sadler" marriage date.

The second location is the entrance to Lufbery Park. The co-ordinates are N41*27.510 W72*50.576.

Drive in and park at the end of the road. Now for the fun part. The location of the actual cache can be derived by taking the numbers you found at Simpson Ct and putting them into the following equations:

N41* (((a+b+c) * 5)-548)/1000

W72* ((((x+y)*z) / 6) + 1263)/1000

There was heavy tree cover during the placement of the cache but there are only a few spots that an ammo can could be hidden at this location so it shouldn't be too difficult!

Once the cache has been found, a short walk will reward you with a nice overlook of the town of Wallingford Just head North East from the cache location for the view.


The very first release of our signature item was in this cache!!!
