Geocache Description:

An artistic multi, in and out of a mall


Sculptor Benny Bufano once said, "Rubbing your hands over the artist's medium provides a most pleasant introduction into the work." His iconic sculptures are characterized by delightful, rounded, polished shapes. He worked in granite, cast stone, and metal. I grew up with this particular collection of animals, when the site was an outdoor mall. Today, the mall observes mall hours, but waypoints 1 and 3 are located outside within a 2 block walk.

Park at the parking structure north of 31st and Edison, or the top deck just south of 31st and Edison, or on-street on Arrowood at Edison.

At GZ and waypoint 1, group the date on the plaque in numerical mm/dd/yyYY format and assign values as A B C D XX YY

Go south to Waypoint 1: GZ Lat N37 32.320 subtract point zero (YY minus (a+b+c+d)) and Lon W122 18.066

Go west to Final: Lat N37 32.185 and Lon W122 18.066 add point 140 times A

If satellite signal is poor for wypt 1, you can still figure out the date.

Watch the arithmetic sign in the calculations. As with any bthomas cache placement, a picture is worth a dozen words. Final is a magnetic tin. Please bring your own sketch pen.
