Marky: We tried to find a good hiding spot for the final leg within walking distance, but couldn't come up with anything reasonable. Archiving this one.

Geocache Description:

A challenging multi-cache that will exersize your powers of observation.

This is a six waypoint multi-cache with magnetic micro caches at the waypoints #2-#5 and a fullsized cache at waypoint #6 (there is no cache at waypoint #1). Here is how it works:
At each waypoint, there will be a mural to observe. You must attempt to remember details of the mural you are looking at or you will have to return to get the answers. Those with good powers of observation (and good memories) will have an advantage over those that don't. The micro-caches found at waypoints #2-#5 will contain the coordinates for the next waypoint but certain numbers will be determined by answering questions about the previous mural (not the one you are currently looking at). Okay, here we go:

Waypoint #1: N37 13.970, W121 57.872
At this waypoint you are to observe the mural on the side of the wall. Take care to remember as much detail about the mural as possible. You don't want to have to back track. There is no cache at this waypoint. When you think you have the details memorized, continue to:

Waypoint #2: N37 13.363, W121 58.869
At this waypoint you will find a small magnetized cache. In the cache will be instructions on what to observe here and where the next waypoint it.

Sanity Check: I am providing two latitude and two longitude coordinates to help you determine if your resulting coordinates are 'reasonable'.

Your latitude coordinates should never exceed: N37 13.600 or be less than: N37 13.300
Your longitude coordinates should never exceed: W121 59.200 or be less than: W121 58.800
