Geocache Description:




THE GEOCACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES BUT YOU SHOULD START HERE TO SOLVE THIS FIELD PUZZLE AND LEARN THE ACTUAL COORDINATES. The cache is located in Downtown Vista @ 33 12.AB(D+E) 117 14.DBC and can be accessed at all times.

I have placed a hidden Mickey attached to a tiny bison tube somewhere in the middle of Downtown Vista. Come visit the area, enjoy the street sculptures, have a bite to eat, and maybe take in a show. This brief field puzzle can be completed in as little as 10 minutes. No head scratching puzzles to solve at home, just show up at the posted coordinates and visit a few waypoints and...voilà!

WP #1 (N 33° 12.112 W 117° 14.570) has a plaque attached to a large, blooming flower. There are four numerical digits on the plaque.
A = SECOND DIGIT and B = LAST DIGIT.

WP #2 (N 33° 12.103 W 117° 14.453) is home to a colorful deli. Standing at the main entrance and facing AWAY from the establishment you will see a sitting area. C = the NUMBER of BENCHES. If you stop here for lunch I'd try the chipotle chicken sandwich on a kaiser roll : )

WP#3 (N 33° 12.161 W 117° 14.472) is home to a historic Vista landmark. It's a great place to catch a show. While facing the box office you will see a number of poster display cases to your left and right. Turn around and facing the street you will see a number of flower pots approximately three feet in height. D = NUMBER of POTS and E = NUMBER of POSTER CASES .

The Hidden Mickey is located at:

33 12.AB(D+E) 117 14.DBC
