Geocache Description:


I've been working downtown since July and after several hot months I have managed to find most of the caches within walking distance. I noticed there are not that many caches around here and I decided to rectify the situation. If you come anytime in the afternoons send me a message and I'll try to meet you outside if I am not too busy as I work in the LOB building nearby.

All points are accessible by wheelchair via sidewalks. The LOB building is publicly accessible from 8am to 5pm excluding state holidays and there is a wheelchair ramp from the sidewalk to the ground floor level. You can ride the elevator from ground(Floor 2) to Floor 3 to get to the courtyard area for a very nice view. One would never guess upon looking at this beautiful area that what you are looking at is on top of a parking deck!

 

The first stage of this cache will take you to a small sidewalk park area where you can relax and eat a somewhat private lunch during the middle of the day. It is in a semi-secluded area. Aside from parking and making your way to GZ you can complete this cache in 30 minutes or less.

A = How many bicycle racks are in the general area?

B = How many benches are on the west side of the walkway? Now minus 5 from that number.

C = How many light poles are near the benches?

D = How many benches are in each section(This is also the number of sections)?

E = On a tree nearby there is a number of popular items that many people use as a cache host. How many of them are there? Now multiply by 2(there are also this many A/C units).

F = How many benches in total(this is also the number of bench brackets in each section)?

Final Stage N 35° 47.ABC W 078° 38.DEF
