Wildlife on the Ohio Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

wvhunter: Stopped by today for a maintenance visit. (Seeing that has been 15 plus years since the last time I've been here.)
The bad news is the parking area to stage one is now closed which means this whole wildlife viewing area is probably closed as well.
Did a quick dash for the cache but came up empty. It's either grown legs and walked away or somebody found it and took it.
Well seeing that I don't know when this area might reopen I might as well simply archive it.
It had a good run.

We ask that you observe the following:

Please do not litter. Litter stations are provided.
Fires are a hazard to wildlife and are not permitted.
Swimming in the backwater is not permitted.
This area is closed to visitors after dark.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Located in Natrium, WV (And yes I think the entire town IS just the PPG plant!) is a nice little stopping point when heading north or south between Moundsville and New Martinsville.
PPG has done a very nice job in keeping the local area fit for wildlife to flourish in the midst of a plant complex area. Bring a snack and stay for a bit.

The above coordinates are for the parking area next to a two story structure that is the starting point of your hunt.

Inside the structure are plaques dedicated to various local animals. You will need to visit certain animals to answer the following questions:
A = The second digit of the maximum life span of the Canada Goose.
B = The number of months of the gestation period of the American black bear.
C = The first digit of the lowest weight of a Coyote.
D = The lowest number of young a Raccoon might have.
E = The second digit of the lowest number for the incubation period of the Red-tailed Hawk.
F = The number of colors an American Beaver might be.

The final coordinates are:
N 39 44.ABC W 080 50.DEF

Enjoy!
