Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates will take you to a mural in Havre de Grace where your powers of observation will help you get the necessary information to determine the coordinates for the cache, which is within walking distance of the mural.


The coordinates for the cache are N 39 RS.TUV W 076 0W.XYZ, where

A = the number of birds on the right side of the mural
B = the number of flags, including the background
C = the number of the racehorse in blue plus the number of the racehorse in red
D = the number of cannons
E = the number of individual years painted on the mural
F = of those years, the most recent year minus the second most recent year
G = the artist’s daughter’s name is hidden amongst the Black-Eyed Susan’s – the number of letters in her name (if you can't find this on the mural, you can use a search engine)
H = the number of Black-Eyed Susan eyes divided by 2
I = the number of vowels in the artist’s name

and

R = A / (I - D)
S = B – (G / E)
T = C * (A – I)
U = D + B
V = E + (B – 2)
W = F * (H - E)
X = G – F
Y = H / (C / D)
Z = I – (E – A)

Checksum 1: B + E + F + G + H = 27
Checksum 2: R + T + Y + Z = 8

Update 08/15/20: To make this cache easier to access, I've moved it slightly. Add .002 to the North coordinates and subtract .006 from the West coordinates.
