Geocache Description:

This cache is in old downtown Ellensburg. It is a multi-puzzle cache with all but the last waypoint being wheelchair accessible. All waypoints have close parking. Simple math is involved.

* Bring a flathead screwdriver or pocket knife!!!

Have you ever noticed the many murals throughout town? They are an often overlooked piece of history. Fortunately, we live in a town which values them and keeps them maintained. This cache was placed to highlight just a few. When you are on the hunt, keep your eye out for others!

Mural 1 coordinates: Posted above
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mural 2 North: 356 + the number spelled out = ABC
N 46 59.ABC

Mural 2 West: The year the company was established - 890 = DEF
W 120 32.DEF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mural 3 North: Find the value of the family name by adding the number value of each letter (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc)

The family name value + 709 = GHI
N 46 59.GHI

Mural 3 West: Count the number of words on the whole mural.

Number of words x 88, then multiplied by the number of times "auto" appears on the mural = JKL

W 120 32.JKL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Final North: 1000 - the number of letters in the State = MNO
N 46 59.MNO

Final West: Count the number of total letters used on the mural.
Number of letters x 9 = PQR

W 120 32.PQR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CONGRATULATIONS! Go find the final!

Congratulations, BlacksharkXP, on your FTF!
