Geocache Description:


This cache is a part of The Detroit Institute of Arts Inside/Out program.


View of Le Crotoy from Upstream, 1776-1778
Georges Pierre Seurat (French, 1859 – 1891)
Bequest of Robert H. Tannahill
Dimensions Framed: 35 ¼ x 41 ¾ in.

Georges Seurat is known for creating images using only tiny dots of color in subtly differentiated shades. He knew that your eyes would blend the colors together to perceive a cohesive image of a beach. He didn’t end the technique at the edges of the canvas. He even dotted the frame in complimentary colors to set off the painting. See thousands of dots in the original work of art
…at your DIA.


The posted coordinates will take you to a sign for the city. You need to obtain some information here to take you to the final.

To find this final you need to read the sign in front of you and count some letters to find this final.

The final can be found at:
N 42° 27. A B C W 83° 07. D E F

The simple puzzle is:
A = Number of total letters in the first line.
B = Number of total letters in the fourth line.
C = Number of total letters in the second line subtracting one.
D = Number of letters in the first word in the third line.
E = Number of letters in the first word in the first line.
F = Number of letters in the second word in the third line adding one.
