Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the posted coordinates; you must solve the puzzle below to find out where it is.

This is just a quick puzzle that I would have put inside the park if they allowed physical caches. All answers can easily be found online. 

The Puzzle

Final Coordinates: N 44° 48.ABC W 111° 05.DEF

A = The second digit of the width of Yellowstone's widest point in miles

B = The number of park entrances

C = The second digit of Yellowstone's size in acres 

D = The sum of the digits in the coldest recorded temperature within the park in °C

E = The third digit in the year John Colter first visited what became Yellowstone

F = The day in March 1872 when the park was officially established. 

The Cache

Cache is a magnetic key holder, and there is pullout parking right next to it. This cache is available in winter if there is less than a 3 feet of snow. 
 

Congrats to nrstevens7 for being the FTF!
