Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!

The City of Stow has recently given many of its traffic light signal boxes an artistic makeover.  Each one is different, colorful, and eye-catching.

To solve this field puzzle you will need to start at the posted coordinates (the intersection of Rt 91 Darrow Road and Hibbard Drive).  This puzzle can be done solo but would be best with a driver and at least one observer.  Be sure to obey all laws, road signs, traffic signals, speed limits, etc. and watch for unexpected obstacles on the road (stopped vehicles, road crews, pedestrians, trash, or other hazards).

At each intersection that has a traffic light, look for the large traffic signal box on one of the corners.  It may be located on either the left-hand or right-hand side of the road.  You need to identify the design on the NORTH side of the first 9 (nine) signal boxes you see.  Some boxes have different designs on different sides, so remember that when you drive south you need the design on the side facing you as you approach and not necessarily the one facing Darrow Road.  Yes, I've been a bit sneaky by including images from multiple sides. 

The signal box at the corner of Darrow Road and Hibbard Drive is the first of the nine designs you must identify.
