Geocache Description:

This cache will introduce you to some of Nashua's history.

The coordinates above are for a historic location in Nashua NH. You must first go there to get the answers for the digits to the parking coordinates for the cache location.

Parking for the historic site is along the street on Abbot Street. N 42 45.968 W 071 28.115

Ok, now here are the parking cords for parking at the cache site: N 42 4A.BBC W 071 28.BDE

A: The 3rd digit in the years of the War of the Rebellion.
B: The last digit in the last year of the war.
C: Add the first 2 digits of the first year of the war.
D: Subtract the number of words written by Andrew Jackson
from the number of words written by U.S. Grant and
then add 3.
E: Who is Daniel Abbot? What is the last digit in
the first year that appears on the monument?

Ok, once at the parking site for the actual cache: Head south toward the Big Lonely Tree…

F: 1 more than G
G: How many stairs “should” there be? ______ add the
digits together. (including the missing ones…..look
for railroad tie nails)
H: The number of stairs minus 13.

The cache coordinates are: N 42 46.5F3 W 071 28.GGH
The cache container is quite small so keep this in mind when trading.
