Geocache Description:

This cache is in honor of our sons, who are both Eagle Scouts, and those who serve their community or country, whether it be in the armed services, in local, state or federal agencies. The cache is fairly easy and should be informative for the whole family. Within a fairly short walk and a little drive.

This is a multi-stage cache that will require a little information gathering and very little math.

Stage 1 - From information available in the area of the starting coordinates, answer these questions to determine the coordinates to find the 2nd stage:

1. A = the number of letters in the name of the fishing boat pictured
2. B (2 digits) = the total of all the digits from the year the facility was founded, divided by 2

Stage 2 - N 44 39.7A0
W 085 56.3B_

From the information available in the area of the 2nd set of coordinates, answer these questions to determine the coordinate to find the 3rd stage:

1. C = the total number of different months shown
2. D = the number of boards shown being removed in September
3. E & F = the total number of letters in the month the process shown begins
4. G & H = the total number of letters in the month the facility changes its structure to stop a parasitic invader

Stage 3 - N 44 39.CD5
W 085 5E.FGH
