Geocache Description:

Final is located in Upland, Indiana and will require some hiking. The path to GZ could be really muddy after a hard rain or a dry walk down the trail. Use Goggle Maps and the info provided should get you close.

The first clue can be seen from the above coordinates. Take the century the mural was painted (20th), multiply by 31 and then add the stacks minus 1. This gives you the North coordinates - 40 28.XXX. Then subtract 1145 from the year to get the West coordinates - W 85 28.XXX. The cache was originally a clear plastic tube, 6" long, 2" diameter with black caps on both ends. You may find some remnants from that container. The "holder" of the cache should protect it well. Many recent finders (2016) have indicated that the original information can no longer be determined due to weathering. Due to that issue, I recommend using Google Maps. Google Maps indicates the final is near here: N40°28'.623 W85°28'.873 This additional location information should help decipher the missing information.
