Geocache Description:

Academy Hills Park


This is a two stage cache in Albuquerque. The coordinates listed above will lead you to a wooden sign with the name of the park on it. From the information on this sign you will be able to determine the hiding coordinates for the end micro cache.

Completely read one side of the wooden sign. Count the number of times each letter is used. Then calculate the end coordinates as:
N35 09.VBA
W106 31.E66

where:
A = the number of A's
B = the number of B's
and so on.

The hiking distance from the sign to the cache and back is about 0.3 miles. One small hint - you don't need to go rummaging through the bushes. Good luck.
