Geocache Description:

Depending on the time of year, not all of the locations for each set of coordinates may be accessible at one time. It is also possible that to access some of the locations, a fee may be required for entrance, and, again, this fee may vary throughout the year.

Also, our GPS unit was always getting an accuracy rating of about 24 feet.

1. N32° 58.445' W117° 15.813'
Stand here and take note of the name of the permanent shop at which souvenirs are available for purchase throughout the year. Remember the first letter.

2. N32° 58.402' W117° 15.682'
If you stand here and face due south, you will see another building. Remember the first letter of the building's name.

3. N32° 58.442' W117° 15.726'
Face due south yet again. There is lettering on two glass doors on the entrance to this building from this direction. Take note of the first letter.

4. N32° 58.366' W117° 15.764'
Hrrrm. There seems to be a pattern with facing south. This particular edifice has a name as well. Take special note of the first letter.

5. To gather the last bit of information to unlock this completion document, you will need to do a little sleuthing of your own. Determine the four digit year that was birth to the Del Mar Fair (now called the San Diego County Fair). The year is probably much earlier than you think. It was not originally held at the same location you just visited.


Your last set of coordinates will be found by unlocking your completion document with the secret code (first four way point clues with the year in clue #5) and retrieving your final set of coordinates. Then head to the final cache location!
