Geocache Description:

The Gateway Campus in South San Francisco has a few sculptures throughout the complex.  I look at them regularly and thought it might be nice for fellow geocachers to check them out too.

There are 3 sculptures highlighted on your journey.  Here are the coordinates for the three:

1) N 37° 39.509 W 122° 23.988
2) N 37° 39.534 W 122° 23.969
3) N
37° 39.644 W 122° 23.872

It's worth noting that my coordinates were VERY jumpy, but these should get you close enough
to spot the sculptures.  Also - between the 2nd & 3rd sets of coordinates, there is an unlabeled sculpture that I did not include.

The final is located here:

N 37° 39.ABC W 122° 23.DEF

A)
Number of letters in the name of the first sculpture.
B) Third digit in the year the third sculpture was created + 1.
C) Third digit in the year the second sculpture was created.
D) Number of letters in the first word of the materials used on the third sculpture + 4.
E) Final digit in the year the first sculpture was created.
F) Number of letters in the name of the second sculpture + 2.

I encourage you to hunt for this cache in or around business hours as the sculptures are in an office park.  Unless you want to risk parking in the lots (parking garage is probably a better bet than the lots), you may have to walk a bit to get started.  That being said, you can generally get away with parking for an hour or two during normal business hours.  The cache itself is hidden near a public footpath.  It contains a log only; please bring a pen.

Congrats to Psychoticjester, who fought through the CO's mistake to get a hard earned FTF!! Good hunting!
