THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
This geoart series takes you on the Mesa del Sol Trail System, which starts and ends at the Aperture Center Trailhead. The entire loop is around 3¼ to 3⅓ miles and without shade or cover from storms, so plan accordingly.
I considered making this geo-art series into a large letter “Q” based on one of Albuquerque’s nicknames and seen on the nearby Albuquerque studios. Still I will make use of Albuquerque and New Mexico history questions to determine the actual location's coordinates.
Clyde Tingley was the chairman (mayor equivalent) of the Albuquerque City Council from 1925 to 1935 and again from 1940 to 1953 with two, two-year terms as New Mexico’s Governor in between.
What persistent legacy did Mayor Tingley give to Albuquerque?
