Geocache Description:

emeralds - EMERALDS - Emeralds

I heard Team Maccabee wanted The Bell back in Seattle. Hope this qualifies, geographically at least.

To find this cache you will need to find the center of The Emerald. Here is some information that one, two or a few of you might find useful.

Before zipping off to this location, find a common five digit number that is associated with this spot. Take this number as ABCDE. Now make your way and stand at that very spot; you will know without a doubt when you have arrived at this location. In front of you there will be a glass door; take the numbers above that door as FGH. Just off to your left will be a door that is not made of glass and is painted; take the numbers on this door as JKL.

The cache is at:
47 36.BFK + .027
122 19.ELH - .213

The Seattle FTF bell and associated items are virtually in the cache. Please contact me through my profile to arrange drop off of the container.
