Geocache Description:

Shouldn't take long. Historical driving 3-part multi ending with very short bushwack to final (4th waypoint). 2 qt plastic screw top container. Allow extra time if you wish; you could learn something about this fascinating woman at point #2. So pleased that everyone has enjoyed this one.

DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY PLEASE.


Stage #1. Safe parking on side street. How many years was she President of her organization? Answer = WW. Also, look for co-ordinates to next waypoint.

Stage #2. What is the pole number? XX. Also, look for co-ordinates to next waypoint. OPTIONAL: If you would like to visit inside at stage #2, there COULD BE a $6 admission fee. Hours are limited; better in the summer; and check website for special programs usually during fall & Christmas week: Birthplace Musuem

Stage #3. Hours: Open sunrise to sunset. No animals allowed. Be kind to the residents. Park inside or outside but take what you'll need for the final cache also. You won't be returning to your car until after you've found the final. If you've learned anything along the way, it will help you find what you are looking for here. (10/2/07 Superintendent / Groundskeeper knows why you are here & its ok.) Two questions to answer here. Jr founded this place. First, what year was he born? 18YY. Second, what year did he die? 18ZZ.

For the final cache (stage #4), calculate: N 42*08.AAA / W 071*52.BBB

AAA = WW + XX + 363.
BBB = YY + ZZ + 98.

Follow the pavement as long as you can before heading off for a short steep bushwack. If you don't, then flood control projects boundary markers are red/white/blue. It's not really a trail, but in fall/winter/spring it might pass as one. Watch for muggles before leaving pavement.
