Geocache Description:

 

This is a short walking tour of Downtown Lafayette, a good reason to park the car and take the family on a walk.


< If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Indycouple should be flattered by this copycat of their stroll series. >

 The posted coordinates should take you to a location to leave your vehicle and start your stroll.  (There is other street parking available, if this location is busy.)  From here, you need to find the items shown in picture1 and picture2 on your stroll downtown.  Your stroll should include the streets that make up the courthouse square as well as the section of Columbia Street up to Fifth as pictured here.

When you find the item, note the address where it is located.  The one's digit in the address is the number you seek.  (ie. If object M were found at 235 Fourth Street, then M=5.)  Plug the values into the following formulas to find the coordinates of the magnetic cache. 

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE BARBER POLE HAS BEEN REMOVED. FOR NOW, USE B=7.
A - B = R   G - H = X
C + D = S                           I + J = Y
E + F = T   K - L - 3 = Z

 

 

 

 

 

The final cache is located within walking distance at: 

N40° 25.RST   W086° 53.XYZ

Though not required, we would love to see photos of your group on your stroll.

Don't forget to bring a printout of picture1 & picture2 as you take your stroll.
