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.
