A three stage log-only cache near Flatirons Mall. Some simple math will get you between the stages.
Just like Mondo's The Good, the Bad and the Cache (GCM32W), I found these nearby memorials worthy of note so I decided to place a cache nearby. It is a short walk on cement sidewalks between all three stops but you will need to cross a busy street. The Joy: At the coordinates posted above on this page, you will find a plaque dedicated to Frank Varra. It asks you to remember the fun and joy of a treehouse. To find the second waypoint you will need to get an offset for the North and West coordinates posted. To solve the North coordinates count the letters in the first two words of the plaque. Multiply this number by six. Subtract the result from your current North coordinates to get your new ones. To find the new West coordinates, note the date in June the plaque was placed. Add these two numbers. Add this number to your current West coordinates. Go find Stage Two. The Pain: At this location you will find two memorials. A grave marker and a plaque in honor of the men who died. To find the North coordinates for the final waypoint and the cache, subtract the number of men entombed from the number recovered and divide this number by 2. Subtract this number from the current North coordinates (those at this location). To get the new West coordinates find the age that Joe was when he was entombed (that is the year he died minus the year he was born). Subtract 9 from this number. Now subtract this number from the current West coordinates. Go find the cache and sign the log! Bring your own pen. NOTE: The grave marker has been removed due to construction. While it is gone, use 192 for the West coordinates.
