THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LOCATION



The Grand Old Flag

Sing the song as you drive along hunting the cache.


You’re a grand old flag

You’re a high flying flag

And forever in peace may you wave.

You’re the emblem of

The land I love.

The home of the free and the brave.

Every heart beats true

neath the Red, White and Blue,

Where there’s never a boast or a brag.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.


Pretend you are on old Broadway listing to George M. Cohan (or at the movie watching James Cagney). At the first location enjoy the display. It is here everyday. Take the chance to feel patriotic for a moment. Decode the following to get to this location - WP1.

When you get there, look to the west and get the four white numbers on the maroon background (above the door). You don’t even have to get out of the car. Use this number to find the decimal portion of the minutes for the final location. Replace the north and west minutes (xx.xxx) in WP1 with the following calculated number


North coordinates:– multiply the number (above the door) at WP1 X .001. Subtract the answer from the minutes (xx.xxx) of WP1 then add 6.599


West coordinates:– multiply the number (above the door) at WP1 X .001. Subrtact the answer from the minutes (xx.xxx) of WP1 then add 8.274


Bring your own pen. It is best approached from the street. The final is about 1 mile from WP1.
