Geocache Description:



Float dedicated to the memory of Frank Eggert, pulled in the 2015 Independence Day Parade, as seen at the dedication of the Frank Eggert Trail.

Frank Eggert was a big man in the small town of Wenonah - helping to build the trail system here, serving as a Boy Scout leader (he was also an Eagle Scout), volunteering at his church, leading the project to place historical plaques on old houses in town, and so much more.  

The cache is NOT located at this location, but what is there is a plaque remembering the many achievements of Mr. Eggert.  You will need this information to find the location of this cache, which is somewhere along the adjacent Frank Eggert Trail in Wenonah Woods.

N39 AB.CDE, W075 0F.GHI

To find A and B, take the last two digits of the year that the Natural Woodlands Council was founded and subtract 18.

To find C, what number month was the stone erected, plus 2?

To find D and E, take the last two digits of the year that the Wenonah Environmental Commission was founded and add 22

To find F, what is the middle digit of the American Legion post that Mr. Eggert served in (as listed just under his listing as member of the Color Guard)?

To find G, guess the number of people in town who probably have anything bad to say about this guy.

To find H and I, take the last two digits of the year that Mr. Eggert was born and add 69.

Thank you Mr. Eggert for all you did for Wenonah!

Wenonah Woods is open dawn to dusk, 365 days a year.  Please respect the hours on these trails, especially as they often times pass right along the edges of people's property.  Also, please use official trailheads and do not cut through people's property.  These trails have some ups and downs, as well as some wet spots, although the town does an amazing job of maintaining them.  

Congrats to Forbez on the FTF! Congrats to KelseyNJ for her 4,000th find on this one!
