This part of Berkeley needs some more caches, so here’s one to bring you to another landmark structure. The coordinates above will bring you to the first viewing station where you will need to collect the information you need to determine the final coordinates for the cache at N 37° 51.ABC W 122° 17.DEF. Regardless of what your GPSr might say, you are not standing in the street, and there is no need to be precise about where it says you must be in order to view what you need to see.

Not your normal industrial plant, this richly ornate building dominated California Highway 123 (now more familiar as San Pablo Avenue) when it was built in 1927-1928. Despite the closing of the plant in 1956, the building has survived because of its Mediterranean design, and it continues to serve as a retail and office center as well as an educational campus and art center.

The Tour

Station 1 (N 37 51.197 W 122 17.231):

Look at the arch above the door. F = the number of concentric semicircles of glass.

Look to the right of the door. C = the last digit of the first address.

Look to the left of the door. E = the last digit of the second address.

Station 2 (N 37 51.159 W 122 17.220):

Look at the arch above the door. A = the number of animals in the coat of arms.

Look at the words above the arch. B = the number of letters in the first word. The word is gone, B = 8.

Station 3 (N 37 51.137 W 122 17.211):

Look at the arch above the door. D = the number of complete circles in the center column.

From the cache location, if you look high and to the northeast, you will see the more familiar logo of the original company.

Muggles abound at GZ -- use all necessary stealth.
