Memory Lane Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Quicksters: I'm going to change archive this cache as I don't like it anymore as a Puzzle cache. I need to get more creative! I'll publish a new cache that is a traditional cache with the final coordinates being the same as this one.

Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache will have you looking for numbers and clues
within a 2 block area of downtown Oroville. The listed coordinates
will only take you to one of the waypoints needed to find the final
cache.

This cache is dedicated to the many trees planted in Oroville in a beautification project in 1996. Most clues relate to the plaques that can be found at the base of the trees, but some clues/numbers will need to be found along the way.

The final destination can be found at: N 48 AB.CDE' W 119 FG.HIJ' There is no particular order that you need to find the answers, but all will be needed in order to find the final cache.

Use the clues below to find the
corresponding number for each letter above.

A = C + H + 1

B = Ones digit for the elevation listed at N 48 56.214' W 119 26.203'.

C = Look for a homophone on the ground that is found at N 48 56.298' W 119 26.153'.

D = Add first two digits in the Hometown Pizza address.

E = Find the distance to Sidley Lake and Sitzmark, add the digits of that number.

F = # of trees with plaques in front of library.

G = Third digit in all Oroville phone numbers.

H = (Letters in last name listed at trees found at N 48 56.332' W 119 26. 058') subtracting "G".

I = # of Memory trees with plaques on east side of Main Street between 14th and Central. (beware that a plaque may have been removed during the shoveling of snow, but you should be able to tell which tree or trees had a plaque. Don't be fooled by this note.)

J = # of last names listed at tree found at listed coordinates for this cache.
