Geocache Description:

Back in September I planned to place three caches in the downtown Worcester area. Two of them were placed without a problem, the third location was occupied by a brand new, yet to be released cache done by another cacher so I did not place the third cache, until now. This third cache is a simple micro placed in a publicly accessible area but is not recommended for night caching.

The back story:
I recently took two of my boys to see a Monster Truck Rally at the DCU Center. Because I am cheap we parked in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette parking lot for free and walked across the common to the DCU Center. As we approached the DCU Center I was thinking about all the people coming to the event and wondering if any of them were Geocachers. I decided then to place a micro cache nearby for future Geocaching visitors.

The puzzle:
To find the micro you need to do the following three things:
1. Take take the given coordinates for this cache and ad or subtract .015 from the north cords and add or subratct .035 from the west coords.
2. Use your GPS and go to three of the four locations. One would put you on the roof of the DCU Center, don't go there. Google maps will show you which one is on the roof.
3. At the three locations take the following words, possibly reorder them and make sense of them:
  • Door
  • Four
  • Fifteen
  • Garage
  • Red
  • Level
Once you make sense of them follow the clues the words give you and look around for the best vantage point. There you will find the micro. Please be careful not to drop it.

Notes:
The micro is not in the DCU Center and does not require paying any money or purchasing any high priced souvenirs for the kids.

If you are going to the DCU Center when you find this micro let us know in your log what you saw.

When in the city, always use caution. There are always muggles around. The cache itself holds only a log sheet. BYOP!
