Geocache Description:

Eastgate Shopping Center in Lombard, IL

Attention suburban archaeologists! This is a two-stage multi-cache. The posted coordinates direct you to the first hiding place. At the final coordinates, you will find a log sheet to document your adventure. Why these are found in Lombard, I'll never know.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics are a fascination to many people. The term hieroglyphics refers to a system of writing using ancient Egyptian symbols. The hieroglyphics involved a series of 'picture' words. Consisting of several hundred words, this system of writing was intensely complex and very labor intensive. The first hieroglyphics were used on buildings and tombs. It is believed that the Egyptians first began developing this system of writing about 3000 BC.

*Temporary Update - Recently, the location of Stage 1 has disappeared. Since the weather has been in flux lately, this cache is temporarily a one-stage micro. But where?
