Walk-the-Plank Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

History and nature together. Explore historic Goshenville to discover the coordinates and then follow the wetland walk to find the cache.

The cache coordinates place you at a parking lot in the historic Village of Goshenville. You will need to examine the William Sharpless Blacksmith and Wheelwright Shop, and the Milltown-Hickman Plank House to discover the coordinates to the cache.

To find the latitude of the cache, count the number of doors on the north side of the blacksmith shop and add the number of windows on the west side of the plank house. Multiply this sum by eight to get X.

To find the longitude of the cache, count the number of lightning rods atop the plank house and add the number of windows on the south side of the blacksmith shop. Multiply this sum by seven to get Y.

The coordinates are calculated as an offset from the listed coordinates:
N39 59.(528 - X)
W75 32.(589 - Y)

There is a small FTF prize attached to the container. Please be careful not to drop it when you retrieve the cache container.

This cache has been approved by East Goshen Township Parks. The park closes at dusk, so please, no night caching.
