Geocache Description:

The Cache is NOT at the Posted Coordinates

Locate the scenes in the pictures, answer the questions about each one to determine the coordinates for the final. The final is one of those large heavy duty plastic ammo cans that used to hold rockets, painted over in a kans-o-flage scheme that should make it invisible to muggles. You can open it from either end, you may have seen this type before. Cache listing updated 2008-01-05




Don't buy THAT car, Douglas!
Locate the Building that this unfortunate car is crashed into. On the north wall of the building is a diamond shaped placard with three numbers on it. Write down the number you find in the blue (call that number B) and the Red (call it R).


Toro, Toro!
Locate the year this mural was painted. Add up all the digits in the year, call that sum A.(UPDATE this was painted over, but I think its is a great shot, so rather than delete it, here is the year of the picture: 2000


No News is Good News
The building that this mural is painted on, add up all the digits in its street number. Take the least significant digit of the sum, call it C. (UPDATE this was painted over, but I think its is a great shot, so rather than delete it, here is the address of where the picture was: 909 E Douglas


Far Out, Man!
The building that this mural is painted on, what is its street number? Take the first digit, call it F. add B, call it D. Take the third digit, call it G add R, call that E.

The Final Cache is located at N37 GA.RCD, W097 BE.FBF (Just substitute digits, don't multiply, for example RCD means R then C then D not RxCxD)
