Geocache Description:

mag key final

This cache has been placed in imitation of RheS, who placed and owns the majority of this Series. I hope it is up to his standards.

==========================================================================
THIS IS AN OFFSET/MULTI, THE POSTED COORDINATES ARE FOR STAGE 1 ONLY!!
==========================================================================

I've seen this beauty for years, and I figured that it could maybe use a Big Art cache! Come and check out the Angel, then do some simple math to find the final.

At the posted coordinates, you'll find some caged art. Count the number of crossbars and the number of vertical bars on the "cage". Also count the number of supports that mount the cage to the building. Multiply the number of crossbars by the number of vertical bars. Multiply that number by the number of supports, and then add 70 to that number. Remove the first digit of that product to determine the number of feet to the final. (Example: If the number you came up with was 9876, remove the 9, and 876 feet would be the distance to the final)

Travel at a bearing of 91 degrees true North.

Be VERY stealthy at the final. This area can be busy at times.
