2013 End of Summer Multi Multi-Cache
MI Barrel Makers: got out for a maintenance run tonight - all stages for this were in place but the final had 2 gallons of water in that container and everything was shot - so took this one right the dumpster and stopped and picked the other stages up on my way home. shorter run than I wanted for this one but it was a long multi set up for the bike ride event so will rework some things out this way as there are lots of great spots for caches - thanks to those that found it.

Multi Cache placed for my end of summer bike ride Cito! FTF was taken by the attenders of the event.
It is best done with bikes - there is not good spots to park near the stages - but there is substantial ground that will be covered.
At the first stage you will find a sign. From that sign you will need to gather some information to get sets of coords. Your choice of where to go may factor into the length of this one! Both locations are best accessed by bike using the bike trail that is located here. The final is also accessed well by a bike trail that starts in the neighborhood - Grand River Nature Trail
First option from here is to proceed to
56.ABC (Checksum = 12)
29.DEB (Checksum 18)
OR you can proceed to
55.FBG (checksum = 18)
28.CHE (checksum = 15)
The final is at 56. _ _ _ and 27 . _ _ _ (just in case you are unclear when you gather the information for those stages)
Once you identify the correct sign this information will be easy to determine - There is a four digit number on the bottom of the sign you will refer to each of those digits separately for anything that refers to numbers
A= # of K's
B= # letters in second word +(plus) # letters in last word - less the number of letters in first word
C= # "A"s in first word
D= # letters in last word
E= # of letters in second word - (less) # letters in first word
F= # letters in first word
G= third number less the sum of the first two numbers
H= third number
Now you are off - choose your path wisely.
