Geocache Description:


Let’s all do some Window Shopping!

The Final cache is located at: N 35° 00.A-B-C W 081° 48.D-E-F

The listed coordinates will take you this nostalgic spot in the heart of Downtown Cowpens.


From here, you will need to stroll down the sidewalks (be careful crossing the street!) and locate the images below. After each image, there will be some minor calculations to get the number needed for that spot in the final coordinates.

Look carefully, as some sights may have subtle changes over time. And remember that hints can be hidden everywhere on this page ;)

The final is nearby, so no need to move the car!

Time to hit the pavement and look around!



What is the last number of the address at this location? Add *8* (eight) to this number for *A*



What is the total number of braces supporting the awning at this location? Add *3* (three) to this number for *B*



The name of this business contains a number. Subtract *2* (two) from this number for *C*



How many panes of glass are in the door at this location? Subtract *1* (one) from this number for *D*



To the right of this location is an iconic sign. What is the last digit in the number on the sign? Subtract *6* (six) from this number for *E*



What month was the large mural near this location painted? Subtract *3* (three) from this number for *F*



Now you have all you need to go get the cache!
