This cache is hidden in the same manner that Magellan did it’s Nationwide GPS Treasure Hunt.
** This cache was originally named 'GPS Treasure Hunt a la Magellan'**
There are four steps to this multi-cache.
** Orignal text from GPS Treasure Hunt: In an effort to thwart the usual FTFers in the area (and you know who you are!), I will be adding the four steps over the next few days. They will be added in reverse order and I won’t be posting a note, so you’ll have to keep checking back! The above coordinates may or may not be part of the puzzle.**
Good luck!
1. Swap the decimal portion of the minutes of the above coordinates. This is your starting point.
2. From this point, take the first letter of the business name and assign it a number (A=1, etc), add 25 to that number, multiply by 7 and then subtract 1. This is your new bearing. Go 0.95 miles along this bearing.
3. As my grandpa would say ‘Sonny, take the first two digits of this fine restaurant’s address and multiply it by 4. Then add 5 to get your new bearing’. Go 3.76 miles along this bearing.
4. At this monument of a fallen police officer, take the day that the officer was killed and multiply it by 7 to get your final bearing. Go 0.42 miles along that bearing to find the cache. **NOTE** The monument is currently missing ... see below for a picture of this monument.
