Geocache Description:

We have placed three puzzle caches of varying difficulty (1.5, 2.5 and 3.5) in the Wilson Mountain Reservation. This is the easiest of the three caches. The puzzle is simple, and the walk is mostly on a well worn trail. The last bit requires a short bushwhack, thus the 2.5 for terrain.

The coordinates listed above will lead you to a plaque with 9 lines of text. Answer the following questions to determine the coordinates for the final. The location is:

42° 15.ABC
71° 11.DEF

A = How many letters are in the second line, first word?

B =The fourth line is composed of how many letters?

C = How many O's are there in the first 5 lines?

D = The number of letters in word 2 plus word 3 on line 6.

E = How many letters are in the only month mentioned?

F = The last word in line number 2 has how many letters?
