Geocache Description:

Welcome you to the City of Auburndale! This cache was chosen to be first in the "Xplore A'dale" Series, since it teaches you about Auburndale's rich history. Enjoy!

Xplore A'dale is a series which takes you on an adventure (or several adventures for you technical people out there) through the Floridian City of Auburndale. Enjoy learning about the town's history, visit some of the busiest places in town, and some of the more obscure ones. You might even discover a few of the places that Auburndale just wouldn't be the same without! Also, be sure to watch for the clues to the final unknown/mystery cache! Enjoy your "Xploration", and keep on caching!

Now for your instructions:
At all but the final location, you will find a historic Auburndale sign (not all the signs around town are included in this multi-e sure to watch your coords! ). Using the word and letter listed in the clue, look at the sign body text, and count out to the word, then the letter. Convert the letter you have counted to into a number using the code. You can now navigate to the next stage! Enjoy learning about the historic past of our small town!
