Geocache Description:

 


This multi cache will take you on a 10Km walk around Elk and Beaver Lakes. As you pass the many benches you’ll need to gather some info, so mind you don’t miss any!


The posted co-ordinates are a good place to park and begin your jaunt. Stay on the trails that run closest to the lake to find all the benches. In two spots the benches are 50 meters or so from the trail...one is “D”, and is near a playground, the other is H/I and is where Clo has a nice view (approximately at 30.704 / 23.632.). If you walk counter-clockwise from the parking you’ll come to “A” first, and end with “J”, but either way works.

The final cache is at N 48 A B . C D E   W 123 F G . H I J

A)  Kip volunteered here for Z Y years; Y - Z = A

B)  Cecil’s birth year -(minus) 1911 = B

C)  May’s birth year -(minus) 1904 = C

D)  (Off trail; see description) They have been Building Community Since ? Final digit = D

E and F) Number of letters in Ella’s husband’s first name + 1 = E

     The final digit of his birth year x 2  = F

G)  The number of letters in her name /7 = G (Her initials are F B S)

H and I) (Off trail; see description) The last digit of Clo’s birth year = H

The third digit of Clo’s birth year - 1 = I

J) Ms Dashwood was born in 19ab ..a+b = J


 

The cache is snugged in behind a mossy fallen tree trunk,near the root end.
