Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT AT THE COORDINATES ABOVE.
Solve The Puzzle Below To Reveal The Cache's Coordinates

The posted coordinates will take you to the above mosaic, completed by Deborah Palmer. The art depicts the glass factories and railroad that made this area famous as well as Star City's iconic "Blue Bridge" and ferry crossing. This cache invites you to step back in time and imagine what life was like in Star City before the Blue Bridge.

Located just behind this sign is a plaque commemorating the site of the Star City Ferry. On this plaque are two dates: AUTHORIZED ABCD and CLOSED WXYZ. Using this information, project a waypoint of B D Z feet at (A+W) (C-Z) X degrees to locate the final container. (Both the distance and angle are three-digit numbers.) At the final location take a look around to see if you can spot the subtle nod to the original location's host.

The final is a small lock-n-lock container well hidden in the typical spot. It should be an easy find, although some stealth may be required. Feel free to enjoy the stamp at the final location and please replace everything exactly as you found it. Thanks and happy caching!
