This is a multi (3) stage mystery featuring Ohio Historical Markers. At the posted coordinates you will need to find several numbers and perform some simple math computations to find the next stage. You will be able to drive and park very close to the markers at each stage. A use of a compass and distance on your GPS receiver will help on this cache.
At the posted coords. read about Camp Marion. Next correct the posted coords as follows to take you to the next historical marker. Find three numbers in the narrative: Let A = the number of men in the first contingent of POWs arriving here. Let B = the size of the camp (in acres). Let C = the daily pay of POWs (in cents). Now D = A + B + C + 73. Add D to the Northing. And E = (6 x A) - 38. Add E to the Westing. At "The Old Farm Went to War": F = the size (in acres) of the War Department plans for a munitions manufacturing complex to the NE of Marion. G = the number of families in Likens Chapel who sold their homes and farms to the government. H = time (in months) the property owners were given to vacate. To find the cache use this information and locate the cache using Bearing and Distance with the aid of your GPSr (built in compass or a compass will be helpful for bearing): Bearing = The last 3 digits of F. Distance = G/H (in feet)
