Rapunzel's Nightmare Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Professor Shorthair: Construction is still going on here at the final location, but it's becoming apparent that the area is going to end up with some pretty radical changes. Thanks to phreakmonkey for hiding this cache and for letting me take care of it, and thanks to all who have hunted it.

Geocache Description:

This is a two-part multicache. The second part is less than a mile from the first and should be an easy walk. (You can drive it if you prefer.) The coordinates will take you to a small park in the Historic Inman Park neighborhood. The park is named for its shape. In this park there are two items of interest.

The first item is a late 19th century "lock-up box." The story is that this device was used to temporarily hold criminals who had been caught in the neighborhood by foot patrols until the horse-drawn police carridge arrived to take the suspect to jail. By the looks of the device, one imagines that this prospect alone might deter crime in the area- at least on a hot summer day!

The second item is a historical plaque describing a nearby battle. It is on this sign that you will obtain the information needed to complete coordinates for the actual cache. Read the plaque and apply the information as follows:

Cache Coordinates:
 N  33° 45.XXX
 W 084° 2Y.YYY


Take the time of the described event and add it to the number 108 to get XXX.
Take the year of the described event and add it to the number 123 to get YYYY.

 _ _ _ + 108 = 33 45. _ _ _
(time)

_ _ _ _ + 123 = 084 2 _ . _ _ _
(year)

The cache location is at the site of a historical utility that was purchased by a developer in 1997 and turned into a park. NOTE: You DO NOT need to climb on or enter the structure in any way to find the cache. The cache is a micro, so bring a pen!

Happy hunting!
