You are looking for a dry erase marker tied to a string. It has been disassembled and there is a log inside. When you find the marker – the log will come out the bottom of the marker not the cap end. And not for a little irony ----- you need to bring your own pen. While you’re looking at the final stage – think – where could a dry erase marker be hiding.
1st stage go to
N 42.46.958
W 96.55.575
Get the following answers from the plaque on the wall:
John Townsey lived to be J years old.
Emeline Townsey lived to be C years old.
They co-published the “Dakota Republic” for D years.
2nd stage go to
N 42.47.014
W 96.55.455
You will find a statue of “Doc.” Behind him is a rock with a number on it. The number is R.
It is really just a single digit.
3rd stage go to
Guess this will be a free-bee until the object is re-assembled (it is currently dismantled) Use the number 12
N 42.47.384
W 96.55.440
You should find yourself in the vicinity of a large piece of art.
Count the number of short items around the perimeter of the artwork. This is the variable P.
Just in case you do not know what !! means in math.
Factorial is the product of all the consecutive numbers from 1 to n
5! = 1*2*3*4*5
Double Factorial is the product of all the consecutive even or odd numbers
from 1 (or 2) to n
7!! = 1*3*5*7
8!! = 2*4*6*8
Final Hinding Spot
The formula for the final coordinates is
##### = P!! + R (J + C) + D + (C – J)

W 96.55.522
I was going to do something with the W but maybe that is enough math for one cache.
