Geocache Description:

We have wanted to resurrect this one for a while! This is a puzzle cache that takes you from the Arboretum to Hugenot Park. The first several steps can be done from your car; the last clue and final stage is in the park. Container is small so bring your own pen. Small trade items will fit.

The co-ordinates listed above are for the first clue only. You must compile the answers to the following questions to arrive at the cache's final location.
Visit all of the co-ordinates below to get to your goal. Chart your answers in the blanks as you get them. Bring a pencil or pen to log your visit, as the container is too small to hold one. Take time to enjoy the park after all that thinking!!

FINAL DESTINATION: N 37* __A__ . __B__ __C__ __D__

W 077* __E__ . __________F_________

A. N 37* 30.893 W 077* 41.479 : From the number associated with this location, subtract 999970 for your answer

B. N 37* 29.507 W 077* 34.047 : Count the number of congruent inanimate objects in a horizontal line and add 4 for letter B

C. N 37* 29.625 W 077* 34.077 : How many federally-owned holding devices, the color of the sky are present? Multiply this by 3.5 to give you letter C

D. N 37* 29.736 W 077* 34.062 : What digit would precede the 2-number sequence in front of you? Add those 3 numbers together and just for the heck of it, add another 1 to the total. This will be letter D

E. N 37* 29.680 W 077* 34.155 : Count the number of small rectangular squares here and add "6" to your answer and use this for letter E

F. N 37* 30.980 W 077* 35.927 : on this container is the final clue - multiply by 3 to give you letter F

Good Luck!
