Geocache Description:

I bring to yall a series of railroad related caches... this one of course being located within Hillsboro Texas.


Here is the location of the final
( N 32° 00._8_ W 097° 07._88)

 

In order to find the the final ( yes this is a 2 stage multi ) you will need to go to stage one obviously... at the location is a plaque with some information on it... it reads this:

 

KATY DEPOT

This depot was built to serve the Missouri - Kansas - Texas ( KATY ) railline, which reached hillsboro in 1881. completed in 1902, the station features elements of the ______, ______, and ______ styles. early MKT trains carried materials for the growing town and brought early residents and as well as presidents... the building was moved here from the original site in 1978.

Recorded Texas Historic landmark - 1980 

 

Here are your answers to fill in the blanks within the plaque...

Prairie ( 5 )

Eastlake ( 9 )

Victorian ( 6 )

you must go to stage one, look at the plaque... and place those three styles in order as they appaer on the plaque... once in order... you may take the numbers beside each style and place them in the blanks in the coordinates from left to right... simple as that!... tho keep in mind i did leave out some detail relating to the presidents... due to the fact this exact plaque serves as a regular virtuial cache for another geocacher.

 

with all that said... this should be pretty darn easy to solve... so yea... off to the final!

 

Please if possible... do take and possibly post some photos while at this location!... 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! :)
