Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches that get you to visit and see the community artwork that has been applied to some roadside network infrastructure cabinets.

Note that no physical caches are placed on or near the cabinets - you only need to look at them to gather the information you need.

Layout of the multi-cache

Like other multi-caches in this series the virtual waypoints are the locations of communication cabinets with community artwork on them. The final cache is in the general viciinity of them and not very well "connected" to the waypoints.

The virtual way points

The waypoints can be visited in any order but the listed order is recommended.

WP1 WP1 C Last digit of the year
H Second digit of the year

 

WP2 WP2 B Number of bats
F Number of leaves in the small frond below and left of the frog

 

WP3 WP3 D Number of stems/shoots rising from the bottom on BOTH left and right sides of the cabinet.
Note one of them doesn't quite reach the bottom but it counts.
E 4th letter of artist's second name (e.g. C would be 3)

 

WP4 WP4 A Number of (human) children in the audience
G Number of red shirts in the audience

The checksum for A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H=38
