Take a short history / walking tour. This is a three stage multicache. The total distance is less than 0.3 mile.
At Stage 1, find the historical marker located behind the historical figure. Use the information on the marker to get the numbers for the coordinates to Stage 2. Stage 2: N45 33.ABC W094 09.BDC
A = The last digit of the year (the “ones place”) that the statue was originally dedicated.
B = The last digit of the year (the “ones place”) that the statue was rededicated.
C = The second digit of the year that the then mayor of St. Cloud and local Civil War Veterans created a plan and raised funds to erect a statue.
D = The last digit (the “ones place”) of the Post # to which the Daughters of the Grand Army of the Republic belonged.
When you have those coordinates, proceed to Stage 2. At Stage 2, use the information on the historical marker to get the numbers for the coordinates to the final stage and physical cache container. N45 33.EEF W094 09.GHJ
E = The second digit (the “hundreds place”) of the year that Mary Butler and her son traveled to St. Cloud.
F = The first digit (the “thousands place”) of the year this park was dedicated.
G = The date in May that this park was dedicated.
H = The third digit (the “tens place”) of the year that John Butler was born.
J = The last digit (the “ones place”) of the year that the first African American was born in St. Cloud.
At the final stage, you are seeking a nano. It is not in any foliage or in any rocks. It is attached to the likely beacon.
