Geocache Description:


*** Cache *is not* at the posted coordinates. ***

This field puzzle cache starts at Santa Clara University's Bronco statue. There is an informational plaque on the northwest side of the statue. Information on the plaque can be used to lead you to the final cache hide location a few blocks away.

Read the plaque. Answer the following questions:

1. How many donor personal names are listed? This number = A

2. How many people are given special thanks? This number = B

3. What year is listed on the bottom of the plaque (four digits)? These digits are CDEF

The final location is at N 37 20.GHI W 121 56.JKL

where: G = (A + B); H = B; I = A/2

and : J = C; K = (C+D+F); L = F

A Certitude checker is provided for your convenience.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

*** This cache is part of the Geocachers of the Bay Area (GBA) Cachin' the Bay 2025 Passport Series. Completed passports are no longer being accepted, since the Block Party is over, but the caches in the series will remain active for people to find! ***
