Your tour of the statues in The Woodlands untimately will lead to a small Camo jar.
Note: THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES
I decided to create two puzzle caches after having driven-by the many statues in The Woodlands, often without ever looking closely at any. This puzzle represents a tour of many of the more realistic statues while the future one will highlight the more abstract ones. This endeavor will involve stopping at many of the statues to observe and record some of the detail in those cases where easy parking is near-by while the others will simply require a drive-by due to traffic conditions and/or a lack of near-by parking. Those drive-by locations will be so designated.
To add an extra dimension to the puzzle, the solution leads not to the final, but rather to an intermediate stop, one that will hold the coordinates for the final (which will be within a 150 feet).
Congratulations to Log Dawgs for FTF and a thanks to both Log Dawgs and to Team Troglodyte for helping to resolve some initial problems with the solution.
Statue Coordinates Math
1 N30 11.097 W095 34.290 , where A = (Number of children) - 1
2 N30 10.765 W095 32.258, where H = (Total number of children and dogs)
3 N30 10.908 W095 32.200 , where I = (The sum of the digits in the year installed)
4 N30 09.902 W095 30.232, a Drive-by, where J = The number of shoes on the person
5 N30 09.732 W095 27.950, where C = (The number of doves next to the person’s feet) + 4.
6 N30 09.677 W095 27.950, where E = The number of Medal of Honor recipients for the Viet Nam War
7 N30 09.827 W095 27.934, where F = The number of full numbers visible on the license plate
8 N30 09.828 W095 27.813, where D = The number of buttons on the woman’s coat.
9 N30 10.634 W095 27.964, a Drive-by, where G = (The number of humanoid figures in the piece) – 1
10 N30 09.621 W095 27.857, where B = (The sum of the 4 digits that comprise the year shown on the plaque) – 26
11 N30 08.428 W095 28.258, where A = ( The total number of doves in the boy’s hands) – (number of hawks in the statue)
12 N30 10.085 W095 30.236, where F = The sum of the digits that comprise the day of the month that is listed on the plaque
Note: A duplication of some numbers may occur.
The intermediate stop which contains the coordinates to the final can be found at the following location:
N30 AB.CDE W095 FG.HIJ
N30 _ _._ _ _ W095 _ _. _ _ _
Note: A check for the correct solution for the intermediate waypoint can be made by adding A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I+J with the correct summation being 37
