1. Here is the puzzle.

Posted Coordinates:  N 44° 43.353 W 088° 53.921

Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates will take you to the cemetery maintenance building. On the building, you will find a directory of all the individuals who have made their eternal home here.  Find Bernard Pockat.

Count the number of letters in Mr. Pockat's first name. Multiply this number by 10. Add 9. Add the result to the number of years in a century. The result = A. Count up the letters in Mr. Pockat's last name. Multiply this number by 44.167 and round to the nearest whole number. This number = B. Now, using your GPS, project a waypoint at A feet B degrees from WP1. At that second waypoint, you will find the cache.

2.  Solve the puzzle.

Count the number of letters in Mr. Pockat's first name. Multiply this number by 10. Add 9. Add the result to the number of years in a century. The result = A.

Bernard = 7 x 10 = 70 + 9 = 79 + 100 = 179
A = 179

Count up the letters in Mr. Pockat's last name. Multiply this number by 44.167 and round to the nearest whole number. This number = B.

Pockat = 6 x 44.167 = 265 (rounded)
B = 265
Now, using your GPS, project a waypoint at A feet B degrees from WP1.
