Geocache Description:

Don't worry. This will probably be the EASIEST and QUICKEST puzzle-multi you have EVER done!

This is actually a 2 stage multi, but since you need to find information instead of a container at stage 1, we are listing it as a mystery/puzzle. If you don't like puzzles, PLEASE don't let this scare you. You should be able to gather the information needed and be signing the log at the final stage in only a minute or 2.

Posted Coords are for the first stage. You should not need to get out of the car at all. Just pull over and get the information that you need. You will need the information off of the historical sign closeby. What you need is the year this gentleman first settled in the area.

Final container is located a short distance away at

N42.15. 6AB W079.43. CDE
where
A= the first digit of the year on the sign.
B= the sum of the FIRST and LAST digits of the year on the sign.
C= the second digit of the year on the sign.
D= the third digit of the year on the sign
E= the third digit of the year on the sign.

Final cache is no more than 10 feet off the road, and there is no need to enter any private property at all.

Cache is snow friendly.
