A nice bike tour of art works in Boulder


 

The cache is not at the given cords, but is within 900 feet.

This is an excellent cache to do by bike;  everything relevant (including the final) is within a short distance from a bikepath.

Attached are 5 photos of art pieces located around Boulder.  Identify the locations and record the required piece of information mentioned below.  Add up these 5 numbers and use it below to determine the coords of the final.

If you get stumped, ask a friend, or the CO will gladly assist.

 

A = The Man and Girl                         _______

     Record the dedication year

 

B = The Confused Atom                        _______

Record the year of manufacture of the nearest hydrant

 

C = The Cute Animals                         _______

Record the sum of the letters in the 2 animals’ names

 

D = The Elk                                   _______

Record the sum of the 3 numbers on the front of the nearest parking sign to the east

 

E = The Seated Man                           _______

     Record the dedication year

 

A+B+C+D+E = SUM = _______

 

Now compute the perimeter (in miles) of the pentagon formed by the 5 art pieces.

 Take the integer value (i. e., if 3.3, integer = 3;  if 4.9, integer = 4, etc.).

 

This is P =  _______

X = SUM * P =      _______

 

Now set your GPSr to display in decimal degrees (i.e., 40.nnnnn).

The final is at:

      39 . (X + 63058)

    -105 . (X - 14397)

 

No pen. Please use extreme caution extracting container.

Solved this puzzle a month or two ago (with lots of help from owner) but only now had the chance to find it. Great cache, loved every part of it. SL, TFTC!

Finally nabbed this one after collecting information off and on for over a year and a half. Needed the most help with this one, would never have found the cute little animals. Thanks for another well-constructed and well-maintained puzzle cache. Hope to go for Divide and Conquer sometime in the next few weeks. Sadly, my last DES caches left to find. Thanks for the fun!

Another inspiring, educational, challenging, and precisely-constructed multi by DES! I had to message the owner for hints on two of the photos. Everything fell into place from there. Thanks!

Last year I tried for this one but turns out there was something wrong with my coordinates. After the CO was kind enough to point out my error I went back and recalculated some better-looking numbers.

Now a year later we're back in town and it was a perfect time to try out the new coordinates. And this time good news: they were absolutely perfect! The hide reminds me of one of my BCPT hides, just much better done. Here's a favorite point for you, DES. Thanks much!
