Geocache Description:

This will be a fun Unicorn Hunt involving beautiful artwork, and animals. There are some who may think they can get ahead by skipping stages, but traps are set and all of the stages must be visited if you want to succeed. You'll want to bring note taking material on your journey. It is easy, but involved.
As always; enjoy! Fun tidbit: This was placed on my four year anniversary of Geocaching!



DPL

This cache is located at the Ross-University Hills Library.
This location's hours can also be found here: HERE


Your mission starts at the posted coordinates.
There are five stages to this adventure, including the final. Let's begin!

Stage One: At the posted coordinates, you will find a sculpture by Wang Po Shu. The plaque may be covered by vegetation.
A = add together the four digits of the year on the plaque (ex: 2014=7)
B = how many letters are in the Mayor's name (first, middle initial, last)
C = multiply the amount of vertical beams by A
D = multiply the amount of horizontal beams by B
X = (A-1)+B+C+D

Stage Two: Go inside the library. Down the steps and to your right is a book drop,
go around that corner and find the origami logo artwork on the wall.
Y = how many origami cranes make up this artwork

Stage Three: First, add together X and Y. Now go to the TRAVEL Section, and find this REF number on the top shelf. Open the book, and you will find instructions to Stage Four in the front. Take the book and your notes from the previous stages with you, as you will need them to find the final location. After you have found and signed the cache, PLEASE place the book back where it goes for the next Unicorn Hunter, thanks!

Stage Four and Five (Final): Use the tools and solve the puzzles for these last two stages. The puzzle will tell you exactly where to go. Good luck!

This cache series would not be possible without the enthusiastic and supportive help of the staff at the Denver Public Library. Be sure to visit the other geocaches in this series and collect the special code at each final for future surprises. A bookmark of the other caches in this series can be found HERE.
