Greenback: I'm going to break up this series and make each cache available. I'll update the final cache coordinates to the actual as soon as I get a chance. Kiss this one good bye.

To find this cache you'll have to take a bit of a hike unless I missed closer parking. You'll start off in the Calvary Catholic Cemetary where you are looking for the Padre. A little math provided by the Padre will give you the coordinates for a Rubbermaid 2 quart container with a blue lid.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
At the posted coordinates you'll find the grave stone of the Padre. To find the cache you will take the last two digits from the year the Padre died and add it to both longitude and latitude of the numbers below:
N41 28.629 plus the two digit year
W87 39.468 plus the two digit year
Example: If the year were 1812 then the two digit year would be 12 and the Longitude would then be N41 28.641 and the latitude would be W87 39.480.
Your goal is to find all of the pieces of the flag from the five Flag Quilt caches (Lanyards & Key Chains, Mardi Gras & Gay Pride Beads Galore, Lost & Found GPSr, Bartel Grassland CD Depot and, The Mystery) which I've hidden in the area. To then assemble the pieces to form the final coordinates to the ultimate Clean Desk Policy cache.
This is one of the caches in a series stocked mostly with stuff thrown out by my co-workers due to my employers new 'Clean Desk Policy'. At our office it now looks like the building is empty and they are waiting for someone to rent out the space. The only thing on any desk is a PC and a phone, no personal items, no paper at all; even an IN Box has to be empty when you leave. The really funny thing is that they had just spent good money on the "Fish" program which explained to everyone how beneficial it is to allow employees to personalize their workspace. Oh well, now it's more important to have a spartan work environment to protect us from the fire hazards of paper products but, the geocaching community is the beneficiary as all my co-workers tossed everything of a nick-knack nature into a shopping bag for me.
