Geocache Description:


Enjoy a stroll down Historic WEST MAIN STREET in Louisville. This district features the second largest collection of IRONCLAD BUILDING FACADES in this country, second only to the SoHo District of New York City. You will be gathering information to plug into a simple formula.
YOU MAY NEED TO PRINT THE PICTURE CLUES TO TAKE WITH YOU.


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE.

THE CLUES WILL LEAD YOU TO THIS METER LOCATION A FEW BLOCKS AWAY, BUT THE CACHE IS HIDDEN 65 FEET SOUTHWEST FROM THIS PICTURED LOCATION.

You may begin your stroll along Historic West Main Street in Louisville from the posted coordinates which are near the Galt House (or you may progress directly to 6th and Main). All the information you are seeking is visible from Main Street between 6th and 9th Streets. (The PENGUINS have moved slightly recently so use the number embedded on the nearest corner on Main Street).

Use these pictures to locate the objects and determine a digit to plug into the formula. There are street addresses EMBEDDED in the sidewalk near each picture.

All you need to notice is the LAST DIGIT of each address.

For example, when you match a picture with the real object, and the real object is near the entrance to 723 Main Street, use only the "3".

There is no need to enter any building or leave the sidewalk.

Reception is terrible with the tall buildings, so the final coordinates may not be accurate. Therefore, I have included a picture near the final cache location AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE to pinpoint it for you.

THE FINAL TUBE WITH THE LOGSHEET IS NEAR:

N 38:15.(A-1)(B-7)(C+6)
W 85:45.(D+1)(E-2)(F-6)

REMEMBER:

THE CLUES WILL LEAD YOU TO THE METER LOCATION AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE, BUT THE CACHE IS HIDDEN 65 FEET SOUTHWEST FROM THIS PICTURED LOCATION.
