Geocache Description:

(9/26/2023 Update) Updated the link to the brochure and verified that this brochure still does contain all of the information necessary for solving for the coordinates.

At the cache coordinates there is a kiosk where you may pick up a brochure of the park, its amenities, history and a trail map. If one is not available, there is a display of both sides of the brochure. And, if you want to research in advance, the map is available at www.svtweb.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/Billerica_RalphHill.pdf. All of the following numbers are located in this brochure.

Find the phone number of the Billerica Recreation Department. Put the last three digits here _______.

Find the phone number of the Sudbury Valley Trustees. Take the last four digits; divide them by 100, round down to a whole number, then multiply by two. Put that result here _______.

Now take that first number and subtract the second number from it. Those are the last three digits in latitude (YYY).

Find the 5-digit Zip Code of the Sudbury Valley Trustees. Put the last three digits here _______.

Find the 5-digit Zip Code of the Billerica Recreation Department. Subtract the last digit from the number above.

Find the map of the area, and the largest number on that page. Add the first (largest) digit to the number above. You now have last three digits of longitude (ZZZ).

Plug those answers into the following and have a pleasant stroll to the final regular cache. No bushwhacking necessary.

N42 32.YYY

W71 17.ZZZ
