Welcome to Historic San Juan Capistrano, or HSJC for short. This is part of a mini series of caches that are placed at historic areas in San Juan Capistrano.

At the above coordinates you'll find a plaque that talks about the history of the district. Here, is where you can find the coordinates to get the cache.

B = The last digit in the earliest year that the most common structures on Los Rios Street are board and batten homes were built.

E = The second digit in the year that the Combs House was built.

F = The number of lines in the main last paragraph to the left of the Combs House photo. Then add 2.
