Geocache Description:

Renowned Lenawee GeoCacher 'Annisarich' has provided the previous annual 'Art Trail' caching adventures which we've all enjoyed. Once this year's works were placed, Corixid 'bugged' Sir Richard about the NEW version.

My job, the kidz, family responsibilities, house maintenance, pool start-up, Boy Scout stuff, Poke'mon League, 'SugarLand' tatoo appointment, walking the dog....
ya~da, ya~da, ya~da.
"Okay, Fine", says Corixid.


SEVENTEEN works of art are spread around our town for the public to view in this, the 5th year, of the event. Most are IN the 'downtown' area with the exception of # 17, which is about a mile North of the business district.

Posted coordinates place you in a parking lot, but there are many nearby and you need not park in my space.

Take a hike, enjoy the art, pause at the shops... and just maybe walk away with a 'Smiley' after all is said & done. Here's a Handy~Dandy tour map that identifies the sculpture locations...Your own path taken will likely vary from the 'DOTs' included on the illustration below:

Oh...and stop by Sir Richard's house and give him a hand....
with ANYTHING.

You are solving for A, B, C, and D for the North Coordinates
and E, F, G and H in the West Coordinates.

Here's the 2012 Art Tour Puzzle:

N 42 0A. BCD

W 083 5E.FGH

A. WATCH OUT ! A timepiece can be found as part of this striking piece of art, yet it has neither hands nor face. Record the 3rd from LEFT digit in asking price.

B. 'ED' signed his own artwork adjacent to one of the featured sculptures...
subtract 69 from Ed's art completion date.

C. Yup..that's an artist's signature. The date completed is also 'clearly' inscribed. Use the first digit of two.

D. TRAM RAIL CO. INC of Bronks, N.Y. will likely never know of it's contribution to this sculpture, but your interest is it's worn TEETH. Divide the number by 8 and record the quotient.

E. Completed in 2011, the number of NON-Vowels in the artist's last name, less 'The Loneliest Number' becomes 'E'.

F. When this view is duplicated, YOU will be peering in what general direction ?
Add to this the number included in the title of this sculpture. This is your precious digit.

G. The number of shoes worn by this featured sculpture becomes 'G'.

H. Although NOT a true work of art, 'Fido' may appreciate this item found on the Tecumseh Art Trail. What's in the dish ? ( it isn't water)
A single word describes it. Total number of letters fills in the blank.

Container placement is just fine with 'other than public' property owner....just behave.
