Geocache Description:

The Cache Is Not At The Posted Coordinates

The B&O Trail is a great place to run, walk, bike and geocache. Currently the trails starts at Raceway Road, just north of CR 200N. It runs northwest to CR 300N and Green Street (formerly SE 267), with a section in the middle that is under construction between Ronald Reagan Parkway and CR 300N.


A tunnel allows the trail to run under Ronald Reagan Pkwy. It was built in 2005. Since its completion, the tunnel walls have been adorned with mural paintings. To figure out the coordinates, find the following:

On both ends of the tunnel are murals that include eagles. On them are signs that say 7 FT N IN.
The number on the jersey that is black and yellow is J0
Below the service man and woman is the year 201A
Diana needs how many different items for her scrapbook? Let that number be E
How many red stripes are on the candy cane that is on the left? Let that number be I
The population of Avon is listed as 12,4H2
Lindsey L.’s last name has C letters.
The digits in the number on the seal of Indiana are 1D1
The 2nd number on the year on the Spirit Award is L
The 1st year the Bulldogs were football state champions was 198K
The animal at the feet of the deer is a ________. Let B be the number of letters.
The date next to the eagle and flag is 8/1Z/2013. Let F = Z-1
The number of gray tents is M.
The number of beads that make up the candy mom’s necklace is G.

All the information you need to solve the puzzle can be found in the tunnel. To access the tunnel, use The B&O Trail. An entrance to the trail is listed below as a Trailhead, along with a parking suggestion. But you may be able to find closer parking. The final location is along the B&O Trail. BYOP.  It has been placed with the help and permission of my mom, who just happens to be the B&O Trail Association, Inc. President. The trail is only open from dawn to dusk. Please no night caching.

You MUST sign the log to receive credit for your find! So bring your own pen.

I've made a slight change to the location. Adjust your coordinates: -0.001, -0.004

Congratulations to go-purdue for the FTF!
