I bring to yall a series of railroad related caches... this one of course being located within Itasca Texas.
A Bogie
Here is the location of the final
( N 32° __.93_ W 097° 08.88_ )
In order to find the the final ( yes this is a 3 stage multi ) you will need to go to both stage one and two obviously... at stage one is pretty nice looking caboose ( MKT 209 ) to be exact. what you are looking for here at stage one is... the type of trucks, ( also know as bogie's ) that are currently on the ( MKT 209 ) caboose.
Here is a list of options you may choose from:
Motion Control ( 04 )
Smooth Rolling ( 73 )
Barber Bettendorf ( 08 )
KYLE Equipt ( 10 )
To find the answer... simply look at the bogies ( i have an image on the cache page showing what i mean ) you will see one of the above truck types ( or names.. i call it ) on the bogies... this name appears 4 times... so you cant miss it! once you find the name... take the 2 numbers ive given on the cache page beside that name and place them in the first 2 blanks in the coordinates.
Ok now for stage 2 ( not that far away thankfully! ) there is a plaque on the itasca station... it says this :
Itasca Railroad Depot
The second railroad depot for Itasca, this Victorian structure was built in 1895, __ years after the town was founded along a line of the Missouri, Kansas & texas railroad. It was constructed large enough to accommodate both passenger and freight service. A landmark in the town and a symbol of the area’s early economic growth, the depot served as a transportation center until the late 1960’s. in 1972 it was moved to this site.
Recorded Texas Historical Landmark- 1982
all you got to do is fill in that little blank!... your answer will be a 2 digit number... which will fill in the 3rd and 4th blanks in the coordinates!.. and thats it!... off to the final! :D
Please if possible... do take and possibly post some photos while at these locations!.. id love to see them!.. tho please do not give away the info I'm asking you to go obtain! :)
Congrats To blackjack59 On FTF! :)
