Greetings,

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so for the time being it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings. We are no longer leaving caches stay disabled for extended periods of time.

Groundspeak and the geocaching community appreciate your contributions to geocaching and I hope to see this cache back in operation soon.

If you can get it back up and running in the next week or so contact me to get it re-listed. Otherwise plan to move it slightly and set up a new cache page.

[B][green]Most problems can be solved with good communication so reply back to the reviewer and we will do everything possible within the guidelines to get your cache published. It is best to give me as much information as possible instead of saying nothing at all. This will speed up the process and we can get your cache published. [/green][/b]

Geocache Description:

The CV (Capitol View) series of caches not only feature fun caching opportunities in Jefferson City, but also will give you some interesting views of Missouri's State Capitol near each cache site. I encourage you to post your most creative picture of you with the Capitol in the background. The Blue Star Memorial Highway Rest Area is located on Missouri Blvd. in Jefferson City.

The posted coordinates above take you to a sign that tells you a bit of history about the Jefferson City area. Not only does that sign tell you some history, it also gives you the coordinates for the location of the cache. To know where to go from here, you will have to use the information provided below:

The coordinates that you need to find the cache must be taken from numbers that are on the sign you are looking at. The number-strings provided below are clues that take you to the actual numbers on the sign you need for the final coordinates. For example: the number-string "4-3-2" refers to the row of text on the sign, word (a date) within that row, and the number within that date. So in this case, you would be looking for the fourth row of text (excluding the title row), the third word (a date) in that row, and the second number of that date. Abbreviated words count as a whole word.

The coordinates for the latitude of the cache are on southern side of the sign. The number-strings needed to find the coordinates are:
N38.34.ABC
A=8-6-2
B=23-4-3
C=9-4-2

The coordinates for the longitude of the cache are on northern side of the sign. The number-strings needed to find the coordinates are:
W092.13.XYZ
X=5-9-3
Y=28-5-3
Z=7-6-4

The cache is a small container. Please be discrete in your search, this can be a very busy area, especially during lunch time. Since the cache is small, please bring small items, if you are wishing to trade. This cache is in a level, well mowed area. You will not have more that several hundred feet to walk if you do it correctly.
