GC125M6 Mother May Eye (Unknown Cache) in Virginia, United States created by Plan W

This cache has been archived.

Greonidas: I can't make any more trips out here to try to replace this. I've been out four times now and each time there has either been someone there, or the general layout has changed to the point that I don't feel comfortable putting another container here.

Geocache Description:

This is the twelfth in the ValentiNEs2Mom series of caches placed by the infamous Plan W team. We will be placing caches between Valentine's Day and Mother's Day relating to mothers, motherhood, or dates corresponding to Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.

We sure hope you learned something from She's been expecting you, because you're going to need it on this one, too!

The coordinates will take you to the parking space used when we came out here to set this cache up. There is no cache here.

To find this cache, you will need to follow these instructions carefully:

Locate a statue that's somewhere in the area. The subject of the statue is the "First Lady of Swing". She also happens to have been an adoptive mother.
Once you locate the statue, stand with your back to the statue (get as close to it as you can) and face in the same direction she is (hence the "Eye" part of the cache title). For this exercise, assume she is looking in the direction of 310 degrees TRUE.
Next, project a set of coordinates 3872 YARDS from the statue in the direction you obtained above. You will NOT need to visit these coordinates.
Take the coordinates from the previous step and SUBTRACT .510 from the decimal portion of the latitude and ADD .280 to the decimal portion of the longitude. THESE are the coordinates for the final location.

To start this one off, we seeded the cache with seeds. Literally. There are approximately $20 of flower seed packets for you to grow something nice for Mother.

We apologize, but there is no FTF prize since the bone-headed member of our team that placed this left it at home and refuses to drive 30 miles to take it back out there.

In addition there is a letter from the alphabet that you will need later on in this series to find the final cache. Good Luck!
