Geocache Description:

Not at above coordinates Parking available on street. Terrain supports wheelchairs.

This is a simple two-stage multi that will take you to one of Corona's Historical Markers. You must glean information from the marker to determine the coordinates of the final cache. On the marker there are two dates. Use those dates as follows:

Date that the building was erected = 19AA
Date it was converted to City Hall = 19BB

Now:
XX = AA + 3
YY = BB + 11
Now, just plug those into the following:

N 33° 52.6XX and W 117° 34.6YY

You are looking for a micro container. Not suitable for any swag.

The Corona Historic Preservation Society of Corona, CA has selected thirteen (as of Feb 14, 2008) sites of historic significance to this city and have placed bronze or granite plaques at these locations. All but three were placed by Boy Scouts as part of their requirement to attain the rank of Eagle Scout.! Additional information can be found at the Corona Library, Heritage Room, 650 South Main Street, Corona, CA. or at the Heritage Museum at 510 West Foothill Parkway, Corona, CA.

Learning can be fun!!!

After viewing the marker, head back to the street. There you will find a unique fire hydrant dedicated to firefighters, past and future. There's a plaque (unnumbered) adjoining it. Just a bonus for you. Not needed to complete the cache.
