Geocache Description:

This is part of a series of 20 geocaches placed near outdoor art installations. The geocaches will only be available until mid-October. There is a bonus geocache for those who find all 20 in the series (look for a single letter on the logbook or container). For other geocaches in the series, see the bookmark list UCA 2017. Answer 3 questions onsite to get the final coordinates. Note: If you see a notebook attached to a sign at the art installation, that's not the geocache.

This geocache will be removed on Nov 12, as the art is staying till then.

A geocacher's guide to the series is published as a google doc at https://goo.gl/4jLrRH

Congrats to 4CeasonS on FTF!

Stop 6: "The Space Between" by Jessica Lynn Wiebe

Artist's description of the installation: "This work investigates the physical experience of war that monuments represent. It is about linking a new generation of soldiers and their experience of war with former generations. The trench around the war memorial protects memory, as all monuments become invisible in our everyday landscape"

To obtain the final coordinates answer the following questions:

  • If you look closely at the sandbags that make up the installation you will notice a few that are different. What are they made of?
    • A = 1 if wood
    • A = 2 if metal
    • A = 3 if concrete
    • A = 4 if plastic
  • Find the entry for "Acadia Ladies Seminary" on the 1939-1945 side of the monument. There should be one name. Let B=total number of letters in first and last name combined.
  • Let C = number of places you can walk into the art installation.
The cache is hidden at N 45 05.ABA , W 064 22.CBB. It is within 300m of the art installation.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
