Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are just for Stage 1, which hold partial coordinates for the Final Stage, this is not the cache location. You will need to BYOP, Log only for the Final Stage.

Stage 1: This is a No Brainer, quick grab, but only holds partial Coord's

Stage 2: You will travel to Coordinates N39 20.485 W080 01.468 and find a set of numbers and subtract 24,579 to get ABCD for the North Coordinates.

Stage 3: Travel to Coordinates N39 20.496 W080 01.328 and get the set of numbers off this Object.

Stage 4: Go to Coordinates N39 20.442 W080 01.111, here you will need to find the year of the First Mother's Day Service, then look to the left and you will see the Mother's Day Shrine. This was a gift from West Virginia Alpha Delta Kappa, you will need the year it was dedicated.

Stage 5: While standing at Stage 4's Coordinates, turn around and you will see a Theater, "This is the location of the Manos Theater in Grafton, WV. This Theater was part of the Manos chain built in 1948 and then Demolished in the early 90's. This downtown showpiece has been completely refurbished, its astonishing beauty evident in the intricacies of its century- old wood crafting. The historic theater was designed for both film and stage performances. Now a fitting combination of old and new, the Manos features modern digital audio and video equipment. As historic renovations continue and unique, little shops open on Main Street, the City of Grafton is devising more plans for future growth".

"The exterior of the Manos Theather is intact, but looks tired. It appears to be of modern style circa postwar, but rest of building probably dates to 1920's to 1940's".

Stage 6: Take the number you found in Stage 3, two sets of numbers from Stage 4 and the year the Manos Theater was built in stage 5, plus 248 to get EFGH for the West Coordinates.

The Final Stage is a surprize, but remember the cache is not beyond the fence.
