Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache with three different locations. The locations are more than two miles apart but not more than seven.

There are three steps to this puzzle.

The first two steps will give you the missing longitude and latitude.

The FINAL cache is at:

N 40* 35.XXX
W 085* 39.XXX

Step on is located at the co-ordinates above. When you get to the co-ordinates use the following riddle:
Rheneta was, now rheneta is. The path is scribed with the name Rheneta. Find the date when she was placed here, subtract from that date 1685 (this will give you your N co-ordinate)

Step two is located at:
N 40* 34.492
W 085* 39.641
Find the divider of the great beast, on his side will be some plaques, the sum of the numbers on the plaques - subtract from them 4892 and the answer will give you the W that you need.

The final Cache will need you to do some wading if the weather is bad...
The cache has a disposable camera in it - please take a picture of yourself and place it back in the box.
