Welcome to the Just Ducky series, 49 puzzles dedicated to the place I call home.  I hope you enjoy solving and finding these caches!

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle below to find it.



N 37° (A+1)(B+4).(C+2)(D-4)(E+4) W 122° F(G+1).(H-7)(I-4)(J-1)

  A   is a small street between Mission and Valencia Streets and 17th and 18th Streets, notable for its murals.

 

  B   is a pedestrian mall located in San Francisco. A former section of the city's red light district, it is now home to high-end boutiques and art galleries.  The street also serves as the location of San Francisco's only Frank Lloyd Wright designed building.

 

  C   is home to the most concentrated collection of murals in San Francisco.  It is located in the south central portion of the Inner Mission District between 24th Street and Garfield Square.

 

  D  , on Green Street and on Union west of Battery, is a block away from Philo T. Farnsworth’s Green Street Laboratory, where all-electronic television transmission was perfected.

 

  E   (formerly Adler Alley or Adler Place) is a one-way alleyway in Chinatown that connects Grant Avenue and Columbus Avenue.

 

  F   is a narrow alley in the Financial District that serves as the hub of the city's small French American community.

 

  G   is a small pedestrian lane on the south-eastern side of Russian Hill. A wooded enclave in the heart of the city, it was recast by Armistead Maupin as Barbary Lane for his ales of the City.

 

  H   is across Jackson Street from Beckett Alley to the south. It's the home of Golden Gate Fortune Cookies and one of the most famous alleys in Chinatown.

 

  I   is off Taylor between Geary and Post.  It is named after a native San Franciscan and the founder of modern dance, who was tragically killed when one of her trademark flowing scarfs became entangled on the axle spokes of a car.

 

  J   is between Pine and Bush streets, just west of the Stockton Street Tunnel, and across Bush from the apartment where the author once lived. It's also across from the spot where fictional Miles Archer was murdered in "The Maltese Falcon”.
