This is the fifteenth in my series honoring holidays and seasons. It can be tough to look for geocaches in bad weather. Now you’ll have a chance to keep up your skills by doing a lot of hunting indoors.
The cache is not located at the listed coordinates. Instead, they will take you to the entrance to a site you will have to explore. The building is open from 10 am to 8 pm Monday-Friday, 10 am to 6 pm Saturday, and 1pm to 5 pm Sunday. I have permission to use the facilities for this cache. Please be quiet and courteous to the other patrons.
Open the "Puzzle Pictures" image file below. Each picture shows a small part of a work of art. Find the complete piece and answer the questions to determine the final coordinates of the cache, which is located a few blocks away. You will be looking in public areas only, and on ALL levels of the building; one item is outside.
A. How many green baby dinosaurs are in the nest?
B. How many birds are flying on this weaving?
C. How many turtles are in this balancing act?
