Geocache Description:


We lost a fellow geocacher at the beginning of this year (2024).

"He was ranked #1 in the state and was among the top geocachers in the world."

We were lucky enough to meet Dave once and enjoyed sharing stories with this friendly caching enthusiast.

 

In his honor we have created a puzzle cache related to where he lived (Olean, NY). This is also the home of 50+ of his caches.

The given coordinates would be good for parking. 

DO NOT PARK ON THE SOUTHERN TIER EXPRESSWAY--- there is a big pull off there

Puzzle: N 42 05. ABC      

             W 076 10. DAE

A.  How many letter N's are in the last name of the Olean-born architect who invented the floating airport?

B.  What is the number of letters in the county in which Olean resides, minus 3 ?

C.  How many major league baseball teams did Olean-born John Wojcik play for plus 4?

D.  What is the last number in Olean's zip code?

E.  What is the number of letters in the first name of the person who acquired Olean land and gave it its modern name?

Good luck and have fun!
