Geocache Description:


This is a simple two stage multi-cache with a virtual first stage and a nice walk down the West Orange Trail to stage 2.

Stage 1 is best viewed from the posted coordinates in front of the Bao-An Buddhist Center. The Bao-An Center is an active Buddhist Center with beautiful gardens and interesting architecture. It seems like everytime I visit central Florida there is a new statue or building being erected on their property.

Stage 2 is located about 1/2 mile west on the West Orange Trail. When I visit central Florida I enjoy walking and cycling on this well maintained trail that runs from Oakland to Apopka.

Instructions for stage 2 coordinates:

Stand at or near the posted coordinates for this geocache. Make sure that you can only see the front facade of the building. Do not count any objects located on the side or back of the building. Although visitors are allowed to walk around the building, there is no need to step onto the property of Chua Bao-An. I have included a few photos below to eliminate any confusion about what you are looking for.

Answer the following questions:

A:
In the center of the roof there is an ornament that looks a lot like the wheel of a sailboat.
How many spokes are there on the wheel?

B:
There are two large circular glass windows on the front of the building.
Including the circular center, how many panes of glass make up one of the circular windows?

C:
How many large white statues of Buddha are there in front of the building?

D:
There are spiraling gold ornamental corners on every corner of the roof.
How many of these ornamental corners are on the front facade of the building?

E:
Look for dragons on the roof.
How many large gold dragons do you see on the roof of the front facade of the building?



Stage 2: N 28 36.ABC W 081 30.DEA



The final stage is located west along a nice shaded section of the West Orange Trail. Note the change in the longitude minutes from 29 to 30. Parking is available behind Chua Bao-An in the trail parking lot. There is a nice playground for the kids to enjoy after you find the geocache. The West Orange Trail is open Dawn to Dusk. NO NIGHT CACHING!

Silver bison tube for FTF.
