Geocache Description:

Two stage Multi-Cache beginning near the Denton Train Station at a mural on the side of a building.


After my Grandmother Maggie died we discovered a diary she wrote when she was a teenager.

In it she describes the day she ran away from home by boarding a train (early 1900's).  She was afraid of being spotted as a runaway so she carried an empty suitcase on board to make it appear as though she was a mere traveller and not to raise any suspicions.  

Whenever I pass by the mural I always think of Maggie and the empty suitcase.

 

At Stage 1 look at the mural and find the following numbers:

X = Total number of people            

Y = Number of people carrying suitcases    

Z = Number of people waving            

 

For the final coordinates, do the math:

A = X-Y    

B = X-Z    

C = X+Z    

D = Y
