Geocache Description:

First in a series of Lamp Post Caches


Every cacher has found and/or hidden their fair share of LPCs. At a certain point, the traditional cache that is an LPC reaches a point of diminishing returns. However, if an interesting puzzle or problem leads to a final at a lamp post, it does not seem nearly as bland. This will be a series of caches that take you to a lamp post at GZ. Hopefully, the expereince will be worth it though. In the end, only you can decide "Does this redeem an LPC?" 

For this cache, you will need to start by examining the photo below. I can tell you the photo was taken within 1 mile of the posted coordinates. I will also tell you it is on the facade of a building on the same North-to-South road as the posted coordinates.

To begin, you must find the building that features this sign. Once you are standing in front of the building, you will need to look north approximately 160 feet. You will see a very obvious, and very tall sign with what ​would be a 3 digit number (ABC)​.

Now some simple math must be done:

ABC - 23 = DEF
ABC - 242 = GHI

The final cache is locate at : N 40° 36.DEF, W 111° 53.GHI
