Six Blocks in Downtown Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

TroyHills12180: It's been difficult to keep this cache current with all the changes in downtown Troy. I think the final straw was when someone painted over the USGS marker (who does that?) And the squirrels keep destroying my cache container. I think it's time to retire this one. Thank you to all who tried it out!

Geocache Description:

To get this smiley, all you'll need is your walking shoes and a keen power of observation.


Below are 10 photographs, all taken within six adjacent blocks in downtown Troy:

Each photograph contains a number with a missing digit.  In that number's place is a letter, 'A' though 'J'.  All you need to do is to find that missing number (it's somewhere in those six blocks!), and substitute it into the following formula to get the coordinates of the cache:

N42 AB.CDE W073 FG.HIJ

All numbers are in plain sight from a sidewalk; nothing is hidden, nothing is obscured.  All you need to do is hit those streets and look around!

(Note that the icon on the listing is not the location of the cache, but merely marks the SE corner of the six block area.)











Congrats to RenMin for the FTF!
