Geocache Description:


I noticed the lack of geocaches in this area and decided to help place caches here in Southwest San Antonio. Officially, this area is a shopping center, though not every business spot has been taken. Old Pearsall Road has been busy adding buildings, centers, and schools; naturally, geocaches should also come along with these new attractions. 

When I see this sign, I think "why is it named 'Pointe' and not 'Point'?"; it draws my attention. It turns out, Pointe is the French version of the English word Point. To Point means to extend the index (or any) finger in the direction of something in order to show where it is or to draw attention to it. In a way, by choosing to name this center 'Pointe' and not 'Point', it sort of catches your attention. Plus, the French version of the word makes it sound fancier.

This is a multi geocache. This means that the geocache is not hidden at the posted coordinates but the starting location will aid you in solving for the final cache location. The tall sign under the same name as this cache will give you the solution. To find the final coordinates, answer a simple question: 

Stand at the front of the sign (given coordinates). Look West and locate the electrical pole nearest to you. On the front of it is a yellow tag with SEVEN digits. What are those digits?

2776785 –– N 29 20.445 W 098 37.423

2378241 –– N 29 20.452 W 098 37.388

3887896 –– N 29 20.469 W 098 37.456

 

Note: the cache is hidden at the final coordinates such that no security cameras are visible from it. If a security camera can see you while you're looking for the cache, you're looking in the wrong place.
