Greetings TwoRoads,

It has been a while since I first looked at FT#6 Go to School. I can't find any recent responses about maintaining this cache so it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings.

Geocache Description:

This is a cache in a series that are all on similar structures. When you get close to the cache site, it should be abundantly clear what the structure is.

There is nothing to find on the structure itself. When you make it to the structure, you will need to answer three questions in order find the final coordinates (be sure to take in the view!):

N 37° 14.ab
W 093° 19.c

a. In the center of the structure is a metal strap over wood with a number of bolts fastening it , a is the number of bolts on the inside of the stucture of only ONE of the straps (DO NOT include the ones on the outside! !)

b. Employing the code below that replaces letters of the alphabet with numbers; b is Ed’s middle initial.

A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, and so on...

c. Count the number of blocks high the south wall of the southern tower is(one vertical row, DO NOT include the ones seen partially underground!) multiple this by 6 and add 5. Check sum: adding together the digits of the resulting number equals 5.

Being a bit afraid of heights myself, these structures have always interested me because the scare me, but are safe. I did some research on these structures, but found very little information on them. They are utilitarian structures that are still a bit unique.

As always, be discrete, but you can take some liberties, because most people will just pass you by.

As always, please replace the cache exactly where you found it. If you feel the coordinates are off, let me know and I will make the proper adjustments. It is very important that this cache be covered with the natural covering that is already there, please do not add rocks and sticks as this wouldn't make it much easier to find.

My larger cache was stolen from this area, so for now, you are looking for a 35mm film container.
