Geocache Description:


==========================================================================
THIS IS A SIMPLE PUZZLE CACHE, THE POSTED COORDINATES
ARE FOR STAGE 1 ONLY!
==========================================================================

I've lived just East of here since about 2000, and get through this area a lot in the summers. Noticing the absence of a cache at this unique monument, I just had to place one myself! I guess I could have made this a Big Art cache, but figured it was a more appropriate addition the Chicago Neighborhood series.

The coordinates will take you to a small plaque on a pole marking one end of the Paseo Boricua. Count the number of letters around the outer edge of the plaque. Multiply the number of letters around the edge by 4, and that is the distance in feet to the final. Multiply the number of letters around the edge by 12, and then add 10, and that will give you the degrees of true North for your bearing.

Be careful at the final. This is a fairly high muggle area. Stealth will be required to retrieve the cache during most hours of the day. BYOP! The final contains a log only!
