Geocache Description:


Final is not at the given coordinates.

Scattered across the beautiful University of Colorado campus are 5 depictions of the school’s mascot, the American Buffalo.  Photos of the 5 animals are posted below.  Visit each one and collect the required number to solve for the location of the final.

This is a good cache for biking or walking.  You can visit the sculptures in any order, but the final is closest to Buff “A”.  Bring your own pen.

 

BUFF "A"

 

BUFF "B"

 

BUFF "C"

 

BUFF "D"

 

BUFF "E"

 

Buff A: Last 2 digits of installation year          ______

Buff B: Last 2 digits of installation year          ______

Buff C: Last 2 digits of installation year          ______

Buff D: # of letters on the south side of base      ______

Buff E: Just kidding about “E”;  but it interesting to note that the bubbling Jacuzzi is located directly beneath the buffalo’s tail.  Somebody had a good sense of humor.

 

A+B+C+D= ______ = X

 

Final is at 40 0.0(X - 198), -105 15.(X + 312)

 

 

 

Note:  There is a fifth buffalo sculpture on campus (similar to "C"), but it is on the roof of a building and therefore not always accessible, so I did not include it.
