CONGRATULATIONS TO Cache U FOR THE FTF!! THIS IS A PUZZLE CACHE. IT IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. Do not go there, or you'll get very wet (or you'll needlessly be walking on ice during the winter). Instead, read details about the cache below, have fun discovering the locations of the art pieces, and then calculate the coordinates for the physical cache. Fort Collins' residents and visitors are blessed with a diverse array of interesting art forms viewable from public vantages. This puzzle is one in a continuing series that requires locating specific art works or related structures (such as publicly-displayed clocks, unique buildings, or conspicuous features) that are shown in photographs. Each is within the city limits of Fort Collins. Once found, simple arithmetic or other manipulations of each object's coordinates need to be made in order to calculate the actual location of the cache. Other puzzle caches in this series include: •GC3F8DW Ride a Painted Pony •GC4DN9R What Time Ya Got, Fort Collins? •GC20VW5 Disneyland.... Here? Ten pieces of public art in Fort Collins are featured as images through photo hot links on this cache page. Each is assigned a unique letter. To calculate the cache coordinates you will need to find the locations of all 10 of these objects. Finding certain pieces might be challenging, but by pursuing them you will probably learn more about The Choice City and its amenities. Enjoy your hunt! After you have discovered each art object determine it's Latitude. Then use the Latitude's integer minutes in the simple equations below to calculate the coordinates of the physical cache container and its geocaching treasure: the log sheet! For example, if the Latitude of the art is N 40° 32.671, the number to use is "32". Do NOT round up. PLACE LATITUDE A = __________________________________ _______ int min B = __________________________________ _______ int min C = __________________________________ _______ int min D = __________________________________ _______ int min E = __________________________________ _______ int min A+B+C+D+E = Y = __________ F = __________________________________ _______ int min G = __________________________________ _______ int min H = __________________________________ _______ int min J = __________________________________ _______ int min K = __________________________________ _______ int min F+G+H+J+K = Z = __________ The coordinates for the cache are: N 40° 36.(Y-169) (Y-168) (Y-163) W 105° 05.(Z-162) (Z-155) (Z-163) Enjoy learning more about The Choice City as you seek out the locations of the 10 art pieces needed to solve this puzzle. It's a darned nice city, and this cache should enhance your familiarity with certain of its special dimensions. The cache is a medium-sized medicine vial that has been camoed. I extend my appreciation to DES, whose caches in the "Where Are You..." series inspired this puzzle cache. I've truly enjoyed the world-wide "searches" I've made in order to solve the puzzles in his series! He's encouraged me to create this puzzle cache, which is one of several caches of this genre that I am publishing for the Fort Collins area. Additional Waypoints
