Marietta Restoration has purchased multiple properties around town to preserve the historic value of those properties. This cache is hidden at another MRA historic site. The multiple signs surrounding the GZ of the coordinates listed will give you the clues to fill in the blanks of the coordinates listed below. The signs will be within 30 feet of the listed coords. Read the signs around the first part of this cache to figure out the answers to the questions below. Place those numbers in sequence and you will find the missing numbers to the coordinates for the second part of the cache.
