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!
