Geocache Description:

Multi Cache

The Augusta Arsenal!

This cache is inspired by some of the other mystery multi's in Augusta: Williams Walk, South Carolina Blues, and Hoots Birdwatch Series. It is intented to be a challenge. Note: This is not a drive by; it will take some time. A knowledge of direction will be key, along with other smarts. Have fun.

The coordinates are a beginning point only, featuring a nice historical plaque. Your marching orders are as follows:

Continue 10 gun ports on the NW corner of the building on the west side.

Take the nearest entrance.

Take the Eastward trail to the Center Time Piece.

From this location, you can see clues for the next coordinates:

A=# of letters in the first line of the Eastern sign
B= synonymous with uno
C=# of letters in the name of the actual instrument that casts the shadow on this device
D=numeral synonymous with naught
E=# of letters in the second line of Western sign

33 28.ACD
82 01.EAB

CHECK SUM = A+B+C+D+E=16

Voila! you’ve found stage 3

Now that you’re here. You’ll see two large mirror images present. Hint: The canon's wheels.

Count all the projections on just one of them = F

G= # that Roman numeral X stands for
H= 60 + F + G

I=The value of the US currency on which Grant’s picture is shown

Final Cache Coordinates:

33 28.5H

82 01.4I

You’re almost there, now do an about face and take 29-30 paces directly to the East.

Bring your own pen. Enjoy this micro, which only holds paper for a log book.
