Geocache Description:

Quick tour of historic Otterville. The math is easy. Cache asks you to locate several historical sites in Otterville. This cache is a father's day present to our dad. It is dedicated to him. The final is a regular size lock and lock. Please do not use the hint to short circuit the reason for this cache to be a multicache.
