This Sign of the Times (SOT) series is designed to highlight various locations indicative of the current economic environment that businesses are facing. There are a total of seventeen caches on this journey. It is designed to be a fun and easy series. They are mostly park and grabs, and by their very nature, likely to be for a limited time only! Found within the container of the first sixteen caches will be a clue that will be used to locate the seventeenth and final cache: SOT 17: Epitome. The clues will either be alpha or numeric; this will be important to the final puzzle so please make a note. The order is important as well.
The entire series of caches are:
This Cache
This short two stop cache will take you by four vacant buildings in a row from start to finish. You will be starting between a long white building and the old Blum's Furniture store building. The first cache will contain the coordinates to the final stage of the cache, which is within walking distance. Along the way you will pass two more vacant structures; Ninfa's and Truluck's, although it appears one has recently begun renovation. I'm waiting with bated breath for what it will morph into next.
April 22, 2011 - The morphing appears to be nearing completion. In anticipation of my sign being taken down, I have moved the cache to a new location. And as much as I don't like bush hides, occasionally they are necessary to maintain the theme. The second WP has been updated in the first location.
September 10, 2011 - Truluck's has morphed into a car repair place. The clean up took out my sign. WP2 has now moved much closer to WP1. This is now a very quick two stage multi. WP1 has been refreshed as well.
January 29, 2012 - Ninfa's got fenced off, so this one was down for the holidays. I found a suitable WP2 and we are good to go for a while.
