Tour of Downtown LaGrange Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeorgiaPNUT: This one served it's purpose to give you a tour of my beloved hometown. Due to possible rising costs of hotdogs, and my dislike of searching for complicated caches, I am archiving this one.

Geocache Description:

Cache is not at posted coordinates, but at the end of a series of stops. Container is a mayo jar painted camo. To find this cache container you must visit 4 locations and get information near these sites to find the 5th, and final, stop.

Stop #1: N33° 02.314, W085° 01.805
How much to pass through the doors?
Answer =A

Stop #2: N33° 02.267, W085° 01.932
What is the price of a naked dog?
Answer has 3 numbers which =B,C,D (ex. if $1.00: B=1, C=0, D=0)

Stop #3: N33° 02.376, W085° 01.932
When standing at the coords, count the number of columns and add 2.
Answer =E
Now count the number of fireplugs on the side of the building. (Count the individual plugs. The answer isn't "1".)
Answer =F

Stop #4: N33° 02.413, W085° 01.848
Coords should put you between 2 signs. The lighter one tells of the calvary coming from a certain direction. (North=1, West=2, South=3, East=4) From which direction did the calvary come to LaGrange?
Answer =G
The darker sign has 4 words in the last line of the paragraph. One of those words is also a number. Add 1 to that number.
Answer =H

Take your answers (Hopefully you've been writing down what letter equals what number) and plug them into these coordinates:

N FF° AG.CBD, W AED° AB.EGH

These are the coords for the final stop and the location of the cache. When you get there, you will be standing in front of a statue. Take the two-digit year it was moved here and subtract the two-digit year it was moved to Courthouse Square. Add the two-digit year it was unveiled and subtract the number of stars on the flag located on the west face of the statue. Walk that many steps directly southwest from the southwest corner of the statue and look in the hole on the bush.
