COX eclipse Multi-Cache
rtb2425777: I am going to archive this one. I inherited this one from a cache owner who moved out of town. The cache does not seem to garner much interest, the directions are not terribly clear, and to top it off, seeing some of the landmarks is difficult in the spring and summer. So.....time to put this one to rest.

This cache is in COX-made park, the terrain is well-packed gravel with moderate elevation changes. Good place doing some lunch/coffee break walking!
The cache is inside of a 7-cup container, with decorative "Santa" office pen holder, lucky wizard "Profits Up" from Victoria B.C, office repellent "Kubikl", blank CDs and DVDs, pencils, log and a welcome message. Note that walk around the lake in front of the office building north of the location will do you good in determining exact location for "eclipsing". Best time for locating is in the evening as the lights are most visible (although possible during the day). The cache is in the " urban woods", so use extreme caution and cause minimal disruption to the vegetation. Good ducking / big stepping / jumping skills are a plus. Best to park at the parking lot of Perimeter REI at twilight.
*Might be difficult (although not impossible) to spot lights during the spring/summer months, when abundance of leaves might blocks them.
Coded "eclipsing" location coordinates:
N: 33 55.ABC
W: 084 20.BDE
Code:
A - total number of fountains on the lake
B - sum of D and E
C - number of boats on the lake
D - number of the fountains higher then 8ft
E - number of jets (funnels) shooting out of the biggest fountain
Eclipsing location is about 1ft from the path
Follow below steps:
1) Stand in such a way that the city light between the two nearest roofs is eclipsed by the closest tree trunk, which is partially eclipsed by another tree trunk (you should not see the light at this point). Now face the "COX" letters on an office building, adjust position so only "C" letter is visible (rest "OX" are eclipsed, and the city light is eclipsed as well, right?).
2) Look to your right and you would see red blinking light on the very top of the other office building in between two Xing trees. Head towards them and stand exactly in the middle between them.
3) On your left you would see two white roofs - crowns of "King" and "Queen" towers, adjust your position so only the left tower is visible, and the right one is eclipsed. Orient your body as if you are trying to count vertical pillars of the "invisible" (eclipsed) tower. One of your body parts is now pointing at a tree.
