Give Nomad the Finger Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Blue Man: The cache location has fallen victim to construction (again) and it is going to be some time before I can find a new location. Look for Finger 1.1 in the near future.

Geocache Description:

A simple 2-step multi-cache. The stages are approximately 1 mile apart, as the Crow T flies. You will need a UCF parking pass if you do do this one on a weekday. I originally used a bison tube for the first stage but it kept disappearing.


I found the first stage of this multi while teaching a geocaching class to a group of teachers. I knew it was special but didn't want to defile it with a simple micro. Find the ID information for this kinetic work of art and get to ciphering. Count the number of vowels in the artist's name and the name of the sculpture. Multiply that number by the year that the sculpture was given to UCF to find the magic number "X". The final cache is located at N 28(73208 - X) and W 81(5057 + X).

The final cache is a decon container filled with my usual stuff.

BTW, this cache was originally named "Take My Hand", a reference that is immediately understandable at the posted coordinates. But given the fact the TheNomad had to call me in the middle of the night to figure things out, I thought it should be renamed to assist him in the future. Be sure to mention it to him every time you see him. And after overrover called me to beg my assistance, I decided to create this chart to honor all those who follow in their footsteps. Enjoy.
