Quick multi cache in Cripple Creek, CO.

---

First off, you will need to visit the listed coordinates. There you will find a unique mural on the side of a brick building. Using the mural, answer the following questions, which will help you find the final coordinates to the cache.

The final is at N 38 4A.BCD W 105 UV.WXY

A - The number of letters in the word "Cripple" that have a pick-ax going through the middle of them equals A.

B - The number of donkeys painted in the mural equals B.

C - Around the mural is painted a white border. The number of horizontal lines within that border, divided by 2, equals C.

D - The number of elk painted in the mural equals D.

U - The number of black bears painted in the mural equals U.

V - The number of pine trees painted on the left side, plus 4, equals V.

W - The number of times that the letter "A" appears inside of the mural frame equals W.

X - On the right side of the mural, there is a building. The number of smokestacks rising from the building equals X.

Y - The number of windows that are sitting across the white border going into the mural equals Y.

To check your coordinates, all of the individual digits in the North coordinates should add up to 29, and the West should add up to 29 as well.

I hope that you enjoy the mural. The cache is an easy find, watch out for traffic, and please be sure to take in the view of America's Greatest Gold Camp.

Good luck and have fun!

Found it. Thank you for providing a checker. It took 3 tries to come up with the correct coordinates. Great job on the multi cache. Easily found the final container once we had the correct coordinates

Thank you.

We had to look carefully to get the answer right. A short drive to stage 2 revealed the cache. This is our first multi-cache in Colorado. Thank you.

This was my second trip to Cripple Creek. It is helpful to cache with someone smarter than myself. Didn't take long to find this one. Such an interesting area; gets a favorite.

We’re in the area camping at the Cripple Creek KOA with my brother and his wife and spent today caching and sightseeing with them and the Geowinnies. We did our must do on the list first and that was Colorado’s oldest, Tarryall. Then we drove up to Fairplay and made a loop back to Cripple Creek and Victor getting a few caches along the way. It was a sunny day and we really enjoyed Colorado’s beautiful scenery.

We had a hard time getting the west to add up to the checksum but the Geowinnies finally figured it out. Thanks Tom.dog for this nice multicache, the smiley, and for adding to our fun and adventurous day in Colorado.

TFTC took a bit to solve this one, but figured it out and were able to find the cache and sign the log.

This was fun. I really like murals in the old towns. Watched a couple shows at the Butte as well. Sl, TFTC!

Lidlove and I were out exploring Cripple Creek and the surrounding area today. We decided to do this multi for Lidlove's 600th find! Found the final quickly after visiting the mural. Signed log and replaced as found. We've enjoyed our day in Cripple Creek! Thanks!
