Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at posted coords.

Here you can learn about out State Capital and how our state is run as well as the history.

Your adventure for this cache should start here in order to gather some nessessary information needed to solve the coords.

CONGRATULATIONS to BRITPITTS for FTF

THANK YOU and CONGRATS to KAYAK KOUPLE
for Waiting so patiently to log this cache since they have already met the requirements.


THE SOLUTION

 You must have found ALL of the previous rank caches prior to this rank cache. You must also have the codes from two caches to solve these coords.

Geo-Scouts - STAR
A-B-C-D-E-F
and
Citizenship of the Nation Merit Badge (ER)
G-H-I-J-K-L


Start your search at the posted coords. There (if you are standing exactly at the posted coords) you will be between a building and a statue. The closest placque that you can see has a date on the bottom.
Convert that date to this format. (MM-DD-YYYY).
Use this as "M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T".

From that placque go north about "PT" feet if "P" is greater then "5".
From that placque go south about "PT" feet if "P" is lesser then "5".
From that placque go west about "PT" feet if "P" is equal to "5".
From that placque go east about "PT" feet if "P" is equal to "0".
Here on the west side of the item look for the last 4 digit number on the placque.
This will be "U-V-W-X".

NORTH

THE SERIES
Our family has been involved in Scouting since 1997. This series is a mix of Scouting and Caching.
You MUST earn each rank in order, so that is why all of the other caches in the series will be Mystery caches.
The series will be open to all Premier Members only. This will reflect the “Dues” the Scouts contribute to the program.
You will need to gather the "Advancement Clue" in the cache to help solve the next one and so on.
Look inside the cover of the log book for the Advancement Clue for the next cache. As you progress, just like in scouting, the ranks will get more involved to earn.
We will not be focusing on all of the BSA requirements for the caches, BUT we will be focusing on some of them to "EARN" your
GEO-RANK.
