This cache has been archived.

Team WRK&FSH: Archiving cache. It looks like local kids have started playing war in this area. there are several home made "forts" very near ground zero and a new trail that was not there 2 months ago.

Hope to see you on the trails (or at least in the logs)

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-cache where you have to calculate coordinates to find the final destination cache. Even if the gates are closed you can log the find!

This cache was designed for families with children and adult cachers. You will have to bring paper and a pencil to figure the math.

After you are done with the cache you can head on down the road to the park. Plan on spending a little time in the park which features miles of bike trails, basketball, playground, a large fire ring, picnic areas and a baseball field.

Park near the above coordinates and then read the sign near the following coordinates:

A= 37 16.978

B= 076 39.037

Here you will gain a little Civil War history that you will need to find the final location.

C = ______ The number of coins in a roll of "New Quarters"

Write down this information:

D = ______ What year was the "Williamsburg Line" built?

E = ______ How many redoubts where built on Queen's Creek Road?

F = ______ In what year did the Battle Of Williamsburg occur?

G = ______ The Williamsburg Line consisted of how many forts?

Use the information to calculate your second coordinates.

H = (G + E) x (F - D)

I = H / 1000

J = (C - G) x 2

K = J / 1000

L = A + I

M = B - K

Go to the coordinates calculated in L and M
