Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates:

Locate sites from photos in the Florence area to solve this mystery cache. This will be easier for locals and harder for vistors.

To find the cache, you will need to solve a mystery based on photographs taken in downtown Florence and surrounding area The listed coordinates are a good place to start. Your goal will be to locate the site each photo was taken from. When you find a site, try to stand in approximately the position the photo was taken. Using your GPS receiver, record the required digit for each photo as indicated below:
N 43 58.X96 ....A=X+4_____
N 43 57.X69... B=X-5_____
N 43 58.X23 ...C=X-0_____
W 124 OX.495... D=X+1_____
N 43 57.X30... E=X-2_____
W 124 06.X85 ...F=X+4_____
N 43 58.X11...G=X+5____
The photos are in no particular order. All of them were taken within the following area:
1. Downtown Florence from listed coordinates west to the Siuslaw bridge ( 6 pictures )
2. South jetty road where final cache is also. ( 1 picture. )
When you find a site, don't worry if the last digit or two of your GPS reading doesn't quite agree with those listed.
Once you have located each site and noted the required numbers, build the coordinates for the final cache using the letters indicated as follows:
N 43 57.ABC
W 124 0D.EFG
To check the accuracy of your findings, apply a "checksum" test
A+B+C+D+E+F+G=30
The catch is hidden near the picture that is located near the south jetty road. The south jetty is a fee area, or free if you have the proper pass, (Golden age, Senior pass, etc,) But you can park about a quarter mile away at these coordinates N 43 57.389 W 124 06.974 and then walk.
The cache is an ammo box with swags. Among them, for the FTF, is a certificate for an ice cream cone at BJ'S ice cream parlor

Congratulations. to Teamlowtechtoo for the FTF:
