Geocache Description:

In commemoration of georick402's 366-day hide streak, some local cachers decided to place a few hides in his honor. Enjoy your day, Rick! And thanks for all the fun that you have provided for the geocaching community!!!


This is one of a series of caches that will bring you to some metal sculptures celebrating different sports. The sculptures were created by artist Lisa Kaslow. Each of the caches in the series brings you to a metal sculpture featuring one or more players. At 3 of the sculptures you will be looking for a cache container. At the other 5 sculptures you will be looking for information you will need to calculate the coordinates for the location of a cache container. The calculations will involve simple addition or subtraction. We recommend that you find a place to park and walk to all of the locations in the series. You can drive and park close to most locations, but the complex is a maze. We were here during usual working hours and there were quite a few workers in the area, so be aware of potential muggles. Although there appears to be no time restrictions, we recommend daylight caching.

This a two stage multi-cache. The given coordinates will bring you to the sculptures of two hockey players. All of the information you need is on the sculptures.
The coordinates for the cache location are N39 03.ABC W076 53.XYZ.
ABC = the year the artist made the sculptures minus 1577.
XYZ = the sum of both player's numbers plus 654.


UPDATE: September 30, 2019 - Original hide was a pill bottle in a pile of concrete, but it went missing. Cache was replaced within 10' of the original, but is a completely different container and hide. Difficulty and terrain have both increased by a half star.


*** congrats on FTF to EntropyEndeavor ***
