Discover and enjoy a portion of the Delta story in its murals. The wealth of murals in Delta, Colorado, created by local artists celebrates the heritage of this community. Most are located along Main Street. This series is numbered in the order in which the murals were painted.


It all started in 1986 when the city was awarded funds for an urban renewal project. A portion of these funds were set aside to begin the “mural project”. The success of this project has led to the expansion of the Delta Public Art Committee which is currently continuing the mural project and initiating a new program for sculpture and other 3 dimensional media art in public places. In this series of multi-caches, the coordinates given are a virtual (the mural) from which you will gather information to find the second stage which will contain the log to be signed. The second stage has a connection to the first, perhaps only in the owners’ minds, but can you read our minds?

Showing our region’s Native American & Hispanic roots, the first Spanish explorers (Dominguez and Escalante), early settlers & their role in agriculture, along with college graduate professionals; "Homage to Delta's Diversity" is a mural not painted by a local artist. It is appropriate that an internationally recognized Hispanic artist from Denver was commissioned for this particular mural. For more information on the artist see: www.emanuelmartinez.com/Biography.html

To compute the coordinates for second stage, replace letters with numbers.
For North 38 4A.ABC

For West 108 0D.BDD

A=number of people in the 4th panel

B=number of infants in mural

C=number of people mounted on horses

D=number of women painted in the mural

Congrats to pauleefox, whizzkid, and rojo464 for FTF team find.

This morning's mission was to do all of the mural caches in Delta (plus any others we encountered along the way). We had a great time and really enjoyed the murals even though we had a couple of DNFs. Nice hide. SL. TFTC

We came to Delta last year and decoded all of the COM series but had to come back to get to all the final spots. This is a great and creative series! We had a bit of trouble counting for this one. When we found out we were wrong, we figured there could be two answers to the question for "A" depending on left-to-right or right-to-left. Then we taught ourselves to count again and, thank goodness for the checker, were able to get this one right. Had to wait for a people watcher to vacate the cache location to get a look and log the smiley!
