Geocache Description:


This is a two stage multi located at and around Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children near Uptown, Dallas. Created in 1921 to fight the polio virus, the hospital transitioned toward healing children with mainly orthopedic conditions. The hospital is run by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Texas. In 1965, Dr. Luke Waites "established a program at the hospital to identify and treat children with learning disorders, primarily dyslexia. In 1968, the World Federation of Neurology met at Scottish Rite Hospital, where the first consensus definition of developmental dyslexia was developed." In 2018, the hospital expanded to a Frisco campus to specialize in sports injuries and rehabilitation. According to their website Scottish Rite "has treated more than 275,000 children since it's inception."

One of those children was me! My parents first brought me here as an infant in 1998. I had two surgeries and countless clinic visits during my 17 years here as a patient. Every staff member, volunteer and doctor was exceptionally kind.

The final cache is located at N 32 48.B[D(2)+1][D-1] W 096 48.[A+5][A+D+1]A

Go to the posted coordinates. They are across from the playground where you will find a covered pavillion beside rows of bricks. Your task is to find Row 221. There is a brick on that row - you will know it when you see it. There are 4 numbers on the brick. Let them be ABCD.

Both stages are accessible by foot or car. There is parking right off Maple for the hospital but I cannot guarantee you'll find a spot. There is also parking by the Rec Center at Reverchon.
