Geocache Description:

Located in Old Town San Diego, this half-mile, three-point multi will take you past some San Diego landmarks.

Your journey starts at what used to be a roadside motel, now retail shops. You're looking for four numbers above a glass block window. These numbers will be represented as ABCD. Next waypoint (no multiplication):

32 45.D(B+C)(B+C) 117 11.C9(A+D)

The above coordinates will put you at haunted El Campo Santo Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in San Diego. In 1993, it was discovered that the cemetery extends beneath San Diego Ave. and the street in the back. Look for the two markers indicating the graves beneath your feet.

"Numerous accounts of paranormal activity within the area of the cemetery have been reported. Certain apparitions are described as resembling a Latino or Native American boy; others comment on a woman in a white Victorian-style dress appearing. Still others recount spotting a glowing, indiscriminate shape floating along the cemetery boundaries." I wouldn't come here at night...

For the final waypoint, take the last five numbers on the historical marker (they are the very last characters on the marker). They are represented as: E,FGHI

Final cache location:

32 IC.BFD 117 FF.GA8

Congrats to GoBolt on winning the FTF prize: fresh TB tags!
