Touch Two Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

brltrans: DEC construction has made the site for the first set of coordinates disappear. Since this is a 2-year reconstruction project, I'm archiving this cache. Thanks to everyone who searched for it. Hope it was an eye-opening experience for you.

Geocache Description:

In the Bay Area of California, there is a cache by Crawburr, GCTHV2 that is creative, clever, ingenious, and maddeningly frustrating at times (so say the logs). It touched my heart as well as my fingers, since I am a teacher of students who are blind and who use braille to read and write. I asked Crawburr for permission to modify her idea slightly and replicate it in my hometown on the East Coast. So, with thanks to Crawburr, here comes a multi that exercises your sense of touch.

At the posted location for the cache coordinates, you will find a metal, dead-end signpost. Reach your fingers around the sides of this post – to the back of the post - to feel what you can't see. The coordinates for the second/final part of this multi read from top to bottom: Left hand for North and Right hand for West. This dead-end sign used to be covered with those thorny things. I asked the village maintenance folks to clear them out, and they did such a good job that you can almost see behind the post…. So until the thorns grow back again, please resist the temptation to cheat and peek visually. (if you cheat and use your sense of sight instead of your sense of touch, please own up to it in your log!)

I’ll give you the East Coast/New York/Long Island/Nassau County/Massapequa Park Preserve traditional starting coordinates, and the placement of a zero, to help you along on this touching adventure:

N 40 xx 0xx
W 073 xx xxx

The neighbors are geocacher-friendly, and have been advised of this quest.

Part 2 is a modified micro. If you need to know more, read the hint. BYOP.
