Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates, these coordinates will take you to a plaque that contains some information about a piece of San Juan Capistrano History.




There is parking available inside the shopping center, you can walk to the plaque from there, enjoy the beautiful fountain and if you so wish drive closer to the actual cache location.

In order to get to the actual cache location, you'll need to read the plaque, answer the questions and fill up the numbers as follow:

N 33. AB.CDE
W 117. FG.HIJ

A. How many examples of "extravagant happenings" are listed?
B. First digit listed of m.p.h. speed average of the trip?

C: Please add digits for "Miles from Los Angeles to San Diego"
D: Please subtract the first digit from the second digit of "Fare from Los Angeles to San Juan Capistrano"
E:Add 3 to the "approximate number of people in San Juan Capistrano at the time"

F: Add all digits of the first year listed in the plaque and then divide by 7.
G: How many hours did it take to travel from Los Angeles to San Juan Capistrano?

H: Second digit of when line was in operation.
I: How many lines make up the last paragraph?
J: The last digit listed in the whole plaque.


Many of us have probably driven past this location a few times and never even knew the historical meaning of the place. I hope the quick stop is enjoyable and the history lesson shared.
