Geocache Description:


***This cache is not at the posted coordinates***




In our busy lives, we pass many things we see but don't really see. These things are hidden in plain sight. This cache highlights one such item. Finding this Hidden In Plain Site cache will require a little deductive and detective work and a keen eye.

TO BEGIN you will need to discover the exact location of the pictured plaque. Here's the only hint you'll get from me: It is within 2 miles of the bogus coordinates. That's it. You're on your own.
With a little detective work (or a good local memory) you should be able to figure it where it is.

WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND THE LOCATION OF WHERE THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN, use your GPS to determine your coordinates when standing directly in front of the plaque. (NOTE:From the South side)

TO FIND THE FINAL use your coordinates when in front of the plaque and subtract .241 from the North coordinates  and subtract .193 from the West coordinates.


When you are done, you should have a set of coordinates that look similar to this


 North 46 * 00.XXX (minus 241)
West 091 *26.YYY (minus 193)



Good Luck!
