Geocache Description:

This is an easy multi-cache with a few locations for reference but only 1 physical container.
Please follow the directions below to locate the final cache.

1st Butterfly: At the posted coordinates, you should be standing just down the stairs leading into a small park. The sidewalks to your left and right create a large outline of the butterfly shape that is also in the concrete before you in brown. Follow the path of the butterfly to the following locations, counting the items needed, to reveal the coordinates to the final. To begin, Note the number of bike racks inside the sidewalk that makes up the outline of the giant butterfly. This number + 33 make up the AA part of the coordinate for the final container.
N AA° __.___' W ___° __.___' = Number of bike racks + 33


2nd Butterfly: Follow the sidewalk to the 2nd butterfly at N 35° 11.912 W 080° 51.462. Note the number of trash cans around the entire outline of the giant butterfly pathway. This number makes up the BB part of the coordinate for the final container.
N __° BB.___' W ___° __.___' = Number of trash cans along the butterfly outline.


3rd Butterfly: Continue down the sidewalk to the 3rd butterfly at N 35° 11.926 W 080° 51.471. Note the number of park benches around the entire outline of the giant butterfly pathway. This number + 885 make up the CCC part of the coordinate for the final container. Do not count the park benches beyond the sidewalk that circles the butterfly pathway such as the park bench by the tennis court.
N __° __.CCC' W ___° __.___' = Number of park benches + 885


4th Butterfly: Continue along the sidewalk to the 4th butterfly at N 35° 11.913 W 080° 51.483 up a flight of stairs. Note the number of grills along and inside the entire outline of the giant butterfly pathway. This number x 20 make up the XXX part of the coordinate for the final container.
N __° __.___' W XXX° __.___' = Number of grills x 20


5th Butterfly: Continue back down the flight of stairs and along the sidewalk to the 5th butterfly at N 35° 11.928 W 080° 51.492 . Note the number of picnic tables along and inside the entire outline of the giant butterfly pathway. This number + 43 make up the YY part of the coordinate for the final container.
N __° __.___' W ___° YY.___' = Number of picnic tables + 43


6th Butterfly: Flutter along the sidewalk to the 6th butterfly at N 35° 11.915 W 080° 51.503. At this location you should have seen and walked by all of the items needed to tally the coordinates thus far.

Mix & Match Animal Grid: Inside the nearby play area at N 35° 11.905 W 080° 51.494, there is a 3 x 3 grid of animal fronts, middles and rears that can be mixed and matched using the spinning tiles. Identify the six animals present on these tiles and add their corresponding numbers below. This number makes up the ZZZ part of the coordinate for the final container.
Giraffe = 6, Dog = 77, Snake = 42
Bear = 99, Fish = 150, Turtle = 333
Cow = 120, Lizard = 7, Pig = 33
Elephant = 50, Zebra = 101, Lion = 500

N __° __.___' W ___° __.ZZZ' = Total number of added numbers of the present animals above.


Final Location: The final container is located at N AA° BB.CCC' W XXX° YY.ZZZ'. Check-sums to ensure you have the right coordinates if your initial search comes up empty are:

AA+BB+CCC+XXX+YY+ZZZ = 1564
AA+BB+YY = 97
ZZZ+CCC+YY = 1438

Congrats to Dew5077 on the FTF!
