Geocache Description:

NOT AT POSTED COORDS!!!!

This is the last in the series, and to get the correct coords, you will have to find all the others first. The others in the Faribo GPS (At Morning, At Noon, At Evening, At Rest, At Work, At Play) each have a number to fill in below. When added together, the sum will give the last four digits of the latitude and longtitude.

A+B+C+D+E+F+G= _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Then write that sum, in order, in the missing spaces of the following coords, and that will be the actual final location:

N 44 1_._ _ _ W093 1_._ _ _
IMPORTANT NOTE: Add .004 to the North reading, and Add .001 to the West reading. Although I averaged hundreds of readings to get the final coords when I set it out, it seems like it is off. You will NOT find it on top of a hill under the eyes of watchful offenders.

Faribo GPS (Going Places Series) is a tour around Faribault, Minnesota. Always a puzzle of how to pronounce Faribault, it seems most residents have settled on "Faribo". Each individual cache of the series refers to a time or activity. In order to get the coords for the Finale, you will have to find each of the others, and copy down the numbers that, added together, give the correct Finale coords.
This series is meant to be a bit of a challenge; we shall see.

11/7/10 - Faribo GPS - at Rest has been archived, due to the rusting cornpickers that held the cache being taken away. The code that was in that cache, that is needed for this one is: B= 5,812,655
