Geocache Description:


Welcome to Ludlow Avenue! This is the main drag for the Clifton Gaslight district, a Cincinnati neighborhood located near the University of Cincinnati. There are lots of interesting things to do and see with plenty of places to stop and refuel your body and spirit.

< This geocache was inspired by Indycouple as a tribute to their stroll series in Indianpolis. These caches are among my absolute favorites!>


The posted coordinates will take you to Ludlow Avenue. Parking anywhere along or near this area of Ludlow will work perfectly. Please note, there is nothing hidden at the parking coordinates.

Your goal is to find each of the items pictured in the attached documents. picture group 1,picture group 2 andpicture group 3 We strongly suggest you print each of these and have them with you for your geocaching adventure. Each item pictured can be seen from the sidewalk on Ludlow Ave between Middleton Ave. (near CVS Pharmacy) and the above pictured fountain on the corner of Clifton Avenue. 


For items found on buildings, locate the three digit address for that building. For items that are not on buildings, locate the most prominent (biggest font) four digit number located near that item. You need the ending digit for each number associated with each photo (example: 368 = 8 / 1964 = 4)


Once you have all of the digits, plug them into the following formula to get the final coordinates.

The final coordinates are: N 39 08.TUV W 84 31.WXY

To get you started the picture indicated as "G" = 4

J-M-Q= T
A+P+E = U
D-B-F-R= V
K-N+R+Q = W
H-I+L-M = X
C-G-O = Y


You can verify your final coordinates by adding all of the digits together ... Adding all of the North cords digits results in 31. Adding all of the West cords digits results in 28.

Final coordinates will lead you to a small sized container.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PRINT THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS AND TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO TO FIND THIS CACHE. Be sure to bring a pencil to sign the log.
