Raiders of the Lost Ark #2 Mystery Cache
Scouter_John: This cache was fun but the 'Map Room' portion has come into dis-repair and is out of my control. The cache container has been removed.
Thanks for the fun

Arrive and search (as in the movie) for the Map Room. Once found follow the clues and measurements (as in the movie) to locate the Treasure.
From the Map Room you will require a car or bicycle (not a boat/submarine like in the movie) to get to the treasure.

1) Arrive at the coordinates
2) Explore to find the Map Room. Then;
3) In the movie a special pole and crystal were required to be placed - just so - at exactly 9:00 AM for the sun to do magical reflections identifying the location of the treasure room. In our case - imagine that the sun were directly overhead and casts a shadow of the center of the skylight supports on the floor. That center of the shadow of the skylight will encircle the coded 'you are here' message in the small square. Find that square.
4) From center of the coded 'you are here' square proceed generally southward along the map until you see an item that is not a part of the roads of the map.
5) From this non-land-mark proceed along the map generally eastward on a road, to a crossroad that is just before crossing the creek.
6) Go south on this crossroad to just before the (same) creek. This is the location of the Treasure Room. To get the GPS cords of this location do the following: a) subtract from the initial North co-ord decimal portion only (the year of the maps)/5, and subtract 1 minute; b) subtract from the initial W co-ord 1.178 minutes.
7) Proceed out of the Map Room to find the real Treasure Room.
8) The Treasure Room is open at two sides and is very public so be careful of Mugglers.
The hunt can be done solo. A road map of the city is a define help. Hunt time should be less than half an hour. You will be seen by many people in the map room but no one will know what you are doing or why: just have fun with it. A helper in the Treasure Room can be a boost and can watch for Nazi's (another reference to the movie). A road map of the city is a define help. Hunt time should be less than an hour.
