Geocache Description:




This geocache was placed as part of "The Fallback Gathering" to celebrate the time change.

The cache is a two stage multi. The first stage will take you to an information sign which you will use to find the coordinates for the second stage.

While at the sign, modify the following coordinates to find the final.

  N 42 57.ABC  W 085 29.XYZ

A = Year the bridge was closed to automobile traffic, minus 1929
B = 3rd digit in the year the bridge was restored
C = First number in the dollar amount borrowed for building or repairing bridges in the township

X = Number of letters in last name of apparent builder, minus 4
Y = Year the act of the legislature authorized the loan, minus 1867
Z = Third number in the year that the design for trusses was patented

To check your answer: Add each letter digit together to get a checksum of 15
