Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!
The cache is at N44 36.AB2 W87 50.CD9

Welcome to the neighborhood. Travel along the roads from Start to Finish obeying all traffic signs. At each intersection follow one of the arrows. That is, you can turn in a certain direction only when there is a curved line in that direction, and you can go straight only when there is a straight line. You can leave an intersection only at the head of an arrow. U-turns are not allowed.

So: At the first intersection, you can only go straight(move #1). At the second intersection you can again only go straight(move #2). At the third intersection you could go straight or turn north(move #3). Suppose you go north. At the next intersection you can only turn east(move #4). It’s true there’s a line that curves to the west, but there is no arrowhead pointing west, making this an illegal move.

Find the shortest route from start to finish and count your moves. Your answer = XY.

X + Y = A
X + Y - 1 = B
X - Y - 1 = C
X + Y + 1 = D
