Geocache Description:

In order to find this cache's coordinates, you will need to have first found all six of the "Merck Cabin Trail" cabin caches and obtain the six numbers associated with the six cabins.

Cache Information:


The coordinates listed for this cache are not the actual coordinates. Please read below.
Each of the six Merck Cabin Trail caches has a number associated with that particular cabin and that can be found inside each container, either on a piece of paper, inside the cap, or both. Please look up each of the six cabin names (rows) and the cabin codes (columns) you have obtained in the table below and substitute number in the cell where they meet in the coordinates below, to obtain the actual cache coordinates.

Final Coordinates are:

N 43 16. (Upper Barn) (Ned's Place) (Viewpoint)

and

W 073 10. (Clark's Clearing) (Spruce) (Lower Barn)


As an example: If Ned's Place's Number found in its cache was a "4" (it is not), the number you would need from the table below would be "2" (See Highlighted number in table below). That would take the place of "(Ned's Place)" above.


Cabin Code ........................................0..........1..........2..........3..........4..........5..........6..........7..........8..........9

Cabin Name
Ned's Place .......................................8..........7..........0..........3........>2<........1..........6..........4..........9..........3

Clark's Clearing ................................7..........1..........5..........4..........8..........2..........9..........3..........0..........5

Spruce ................................................3..........4..........1..........0..........6..........8..........7..........5..........1..........9

Viewpoint ..........................................0..........3..........7..........9..........4..........2..........6..........1..........6..........5

Upper Barn ........................................6..........4..........3..........1..........7..........2..........5..........9..........0..........8

Lower Barn ........................................2..........7..........5..........1..........4..........6..........0..........9..........3..........8
