Geocache Description:

Photobucket

Harry Callahan returned in the movie “Magnum Force,” which was also filmed in San Francisco, which many of the scene’s are in areas that are covered by six San Francisco Police districts. Each of these districts have a station, and it is at these stations you will need to visit to find the clues you need. This is a film canister sized cache located somewhere in San Francisco.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, however, it is the starting point. In order to find this cache. You will need to visit several police stations in San Francisco. Each police station (Except the Hall of Justice) will have a plaque attached to the outside wall. It is on these plaques in which you find the numbers you will need in order to plot the coordinates for the cache. All these locations, as well as the cache, are accessible 24 hours. The locations and the cache are handicap accessible as well.


N 37 43.ABC W 122 30.XYZ


A - Starting Point, the Hall of Justice - The coordinates stated above - To solve for “A” walk through the main entrance of the Hall of Justice. You need not walk through the metal detectors. As soon as you are through the entrance, turn around and look up. You should be staring at a large metal art sculpture entitled “”Salute To Liberty.” To obtain the numeric value for “A,” there are two different years on the plaque directly at the lower right hand corner. Of the two dates, take the earlier year’s last digit.

B- Ingleside Police Station - To solve for “B,” there is a quote on the plaque. How many letters are in the first word of the quote?

C - Mission Police Station - To solve for “C,” there is a four digit year on the plaque. What is the first digit?

X - Park Police Station - To solve for “X,” there is a Sergeants star mounted to the plaque. What is the second digit?

Y - Taraval Police Station - To solve for “Y,” there is a plaque with a vehicle on it. If the vehicle is a car, then Y=3. If the vehicle is a boat, then Y=5. If the vehicle is an airplane, then Y=7. If the vehicle is a helicopter, then Y=0.

Z - Bayview Police Station - To solve for “Z,” there is a plaque which says, Bayview Police Station. How many letters are in the last name of the Director of Public Works?

Make sure you use EXTREME stealth since this area is highly populated throughout the day.

Bring your own writing utensil.



I have decided to have a little bit more fun with this series, and give a little, but neat, prize to the first person who posts pictures of the found caches on the corresponding cache pages. So, you need not be the first to find on all of them, but you will need to be the first to post the pictures for all five caches on their cache pages.


Congratulations to jara8055 for ANOTHER FTF!
