West Texas Reviewer: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so the cache is being archived to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision.

Geocache Description:

This cache has multiple legs and involves lots of numbers, so bring
some pen and paper because you'll need to take some notes. The
above coordinates are the entrance to the park. There are several
parking locations in the park so pick one and enjoy the walk around
the lake. Keep your eyes open!

Cache is located at N29 AB.CGG W095 DE.FBC.

Each letter represents a number. The following locations can be visited in any order.

#1 N29 32.002 W095 05.327
#2 N29 31.955 W095 05.368
#3 N29 32.143 W095 05.487
#4 N29 32.164 W095 05.498

At #1, Find the sum of all of the digits on the compass (treat each digit as a single individual digit). The sum is a two digit number that represents A and B, respectively.

At #2, Count the number of poles across this rainbow
shaped structure. Multiply the park speed limit by 3 and add this to the number of poles. This two digit number represents E and F, respectively.

At #3, Find the year on this plaque.

At #4, Find the year Mr. Pearson was born.

Subtract answer #4 from answer #3. This will give you a three digit number. The first digit = B. The second
digit = D. The third digit = C.

G = the first digit of the answer you found at #3. This will lead you to a micro. Pull on the green inside to find the final coordinates. Since you had to use your sense of sight to get to this cache, you will be rewarded w/ items
for your sense of sound at the final. Please keep the noise-making theme for trading items at the final cache. Be creative! Good luck!
