You are so close to your treasure you can almost feel the mist in your face, but first you'll have to do a simple math problem to get the final coordinates and log your find. So here you go:
- Face the building to the NW. This building has the
same number of elevators as it does floors (don't
count the basement). Multiply the two numbers
together, then subtract 1, then divide by 7.
Now subtract the final number from the last 3 digits
of the above North coordinate and you will have the
last 3 digits of the cache's North coordinates. (The
first 4 numbers for the final North cache location
are the same as above).
- For the West coordinates, add the number of elevators
and floors together, divide by 4. Now add the final
number to the last 3 digits of the above West
coordinate and you will have the last 3 digits of
the cache's West coordinates. (The first 5 numbers
for the final West cache location are the same as
above).
Your success will depend on your ability not to be seen grabbing the cache box. You are looking for a silver, magnetic Altoids tin. Monday-Friday, this is a very busy place, people, security, police, maintainence, you name it. Weekends are pretty dead. Just remember, those sweaty people exercising in the YMCA can see you too! Bring your own pen. Place back on the metal stake. Thanks for searching!
Fountains are awesome, when they are flowing. This fountain has a mind of it's own, off and on when it pleases. You can't throw a coin in this one, so put a coin in the tin, a geocacher's 'find a penny, take a penny, need a penny....you get the idea. Sign the log, and put it where you found it or it will be muggled for sure. No toys or trinkets, just coins.
Parking is easy, any of the meters on either side of the street work, if you run out of change, take a penny, find a penny, need a penny....blah, blah, blah. Just be careful your meter doesn't expire, the tow trucks are like vultures, waiting to pounce on an innocent car whose meter ran out!
Happy searching....
