conversions were changed.
This is an
OFFSET cache. The listed coordinates will bring
you close to one of the many contributions made by a legendary
Wisconsin native.
Completion of this cache will not require you to go onto private
property. Park near the listed
coordinates.
Find a plaque on the ground and read about the nearby
landmark (Note: when there is snow on the ground, this plaque
may be very difficult to locate). Note the date of
designation.
To find the location of the cache, perform the following
conversions:
AAA = 11 * XX + 1, where XX is the two-digit day of
designation
BBB = 10 * YY - 29, where YY is the last two digits of the year of
designation
Now it's time to find the goods here: N43º
03.AAA' and W89º 26.BBB'. The cache is a
medium-sized, square Tupperware-type container.
