Geocache Description:

First of all, please don't pass on this one because you think it looks difficult... It's very easy to do, and you can find it within 10-15 minutes of starting. Plus, it's a cool container! :-)

This cache has limited hours of availability and is not available on Sundays. You can find it;

MON - THURS
9:00AM – 8:00PM

FRI - SAT
10:00AM - 6:00PM

SUN - CLOSED

I recommend you park at the cache coordinates (Do not search the bushes… It is not there!), and walk to the final location finding all of the clues along the way (it is only a couple of blocks). To find the actual container, you'll need to complete and interpret your 'final coordinates' using the following clues:

AAB.CCD E


To Find “AA”
Stand at the posted coordinates and look for the gold address numbers above the door of the nearest house.

Use the 2-digit number from above the door for "AA."

To Find “B”
Walk toward downtown (east) until you come to a crosswalk. Look at the street sign for the street you will be crossing (it starts with a G).

Use the number that appears all the way on the right side of the sign for "B."

To Find “CC”
Continue walking east until you come to a speed limit sign in front of a law firm.

Use the two digit speed limit for "CC."

To Find “D”
Keep walking until you come to a bank on your right (there will be a stone memorial directly across the street to your left). Look at the street address of the bank.

Subtract the smaller number in the address from the larger one to get "D."

To Find “E”
Walk a little further to a large white building with a bronze statue of two children in front of it. Continue to the front entrance and take a second to notice the white 2-digit address above the entry doors.

Subtract 3 from that number and use your answer (address - 3) to find the corresponding letter of the alphabet, for example A=1, B=2, all the way to Z=26. Use the letter you have come up with to get "E." (PS - It's not actually "E")


You should now have your final clue put together in the following format:

AAB.CCD E


As a couple of favors;
  • Please be inconspicuous while signing the log, you might want to try moving the container or keeping it closed while in the view of muggles.
  • Be quiet, I know it can be exciting to find a cache, but no shouting for joy, please :-)
  • Please limit trade items to small trackables and coins.
  • Please place it back in the exact spot it should be (you’ll know what this means once you find it).
  • Good luck and happy hunting!
