Fire! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

uconnhusky: Unfortunately, without any hydrant-art around town anymore, it would be jamming the puzzle piece to try to repurpose this one. I have retrieved the final container and have deleted duplicate and false logs based on the signatures. Thanks to those who have enjoyed this one, I enjoyed hiding it!

Geocache Description:

In honor of Milford's 375th birthday, many of the city's fire hydrants were adopted and painted by residents to add some art to the downtown area. For this cache, you will need to locate a specific hydrant and mark its coordinates. Here is the hydrant you are looking for:

 


 


If you are familiar with downtown Milford and know exactly where this one is, congrats! You're one step closer to the final cache. However, if you have absolutely no clue where it is but you're up on your Milford history, I have hidden a hint at the posted coordinates that should direct you to the general area.

Once you mark the location of the hydrant, subtract .101 from north and add .431 to west to get the final coordinates.

If you park downtown, all stages are within a 5-10 minute walking distance.
