Sapience Trek: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

This cache was placed on the Corning Community College campus to celebrate the 50th year of the college. Finding the stages of this multicache will take you on a nice walking tour of this picturesque campus. Most of this cache is on sidewalks but the final location is in a wooded area. The Spencer Crest Nature Center borders the main campus and is a great place to take a longer hike.

The starting point is at the parking lot near the administration and commons buildings. The coordinates listed on the cache page are for Stage 1. You will have to find all stages to get the coordinates of the final cache location. You do not need to do any research - all answers can be found at the waypoints. The final cache is well hidden. Please be careful to replace it exactly as you found it.

Stage 1 - You're looking for an art form that is also an important commercial product of the Corning area. A = the number of letters in this art form.

Stage 2 - Coordinates are N 42 degrees 07.012; W 077 degrees 04.537. How many times did WK win? BC = the number of victories subtracted from 567.

Stage 3 - Coordinates are N 42 degrees 07.102; W 077 degrees 04.643. Who did this person work for? Take the 4 letters and add up their number positions in the alphabet. DEF = the sum added to 257.
