This two-stage multi cache is a tribute to my geo-friend Lori, who owns several art-themed multis around the Omaha area. I love the series, so asked if I could place some. This way, she gets in on the fun of discovering some cool Omaha art in some unexpected places. The cache is not located at the posted coords; you'll need to answer the questions based on the artwork located there to figure out the coords to the final. Look for parking on nearby side streets; the UNMC lots are generally reserved for people who have business there. The final is a typical hide, but the area can be extremely muggly; please exercise urban caching smarts - come back later if muggles are present!
Posted coords will take you to the impressive and award-winning Hope Tower, a perforated metal column on the campus of Omaha's renowned University of Nebraska Medical Center. You will notice benches around the tower; start at the southernmost bench to find the answer to "A." Facing the tower, walk counterclockwise to the next bench to find the answer to "B." Then walk counterclockwise once more to find the answer to "C."
A = number of words on this bench
B = number of words on this bench, plus one
C = number of vowels on this bench
Refer to Waypoint "Lectern" and make your way down the hill to the lectern. This is where you will find the answers to "D," "E," and "F."
D = This couple was awarded the _____ Medal. (number of letters in the missing word, minus 4.)
E = number of letters in the last name of the couple who is honored here
F = the third digit in the year the couple was given the Medal
Final location: N 41 15.ABC W 095 58.DEF
