Sanguine Mystery Cache
Pengie123: Went out to see if it was there and it wasn't. This cache had a great run and I am sad to see it go but things have to sometimes. I appologize to all the DNFers; if you want to log the cache for putting in the leg work and finding the sites that's what really matters so go ahead. TFTC

Urban Micro Cache in DC that requires you to visit several special
monuments.
There is parking available along the street, or you may get off on
the Farragut West Metro stop.
Note - Since the cache has been moved, and there is a new
puzzle, the cache is available to anyone, even if you had already
found the previous hide. So feel free to re-seek this one if you
want.
The bison tube is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will have to
visit three stages and gather information in order to determine the
final coords.
All stages are within walking distance (3 blocks or so at the
most).
Stage 1 - (The Posted Coords) N 38° 53.772 W 077° 02.722
A = The four digit year on the white monument. (odd number)
B = The number of seats (slabs) on the L-shaped black stone bench.
(even number)
Stage 2 - N 38° 53.711 W 077° 02.397
C = The one digit day the American Red Cross provided this country
Earthquake Assistance (on statue). (odd number)
Stage 3 - N 38° 53.692 W 077° 02.446
D = The number of Nurses that died in the war (on statue). (even
number)
E = The four digit year the Common Cold Research Unit was closed
(on plaque). (even number)
F = The two digit day that Virginia E Kirsch died in Vietnam (on
plaque). (even number)
Chksum (A+B+C+D+E+F) = 4274.
The cache can be found at the following location:
N 38 53.KLM
W 077 02.NOP
Where:
KLM = (A/3) + (F*C) - 43
NOP = (E/10) + (D-B) - 53
Also there is a nice poem inscribed in stone on the ground inside
the cache location at Stage 1. Be sure and look for it.
