Geocache Description:


This quick multi is at the Eddie Kendrick Memorial Park. Eddie, known as "Cornbread", grew up in Birmingham, and gained national fame as part of the Motown supergroup The Temptations. All 4 stages require you to get information off the monuments and plaques in this park, so once you enter the park, your search should be confined to it.

STAGE 1
Begin at the posted coordinates. Stand in front of the statue. Be sure to look at everything in front of you.

Find the name of the song that ends with a number. That number = __ (A)

Count the number of long-stemmed roses to get B. __ (B)

How many of the five-pointed stars have names engraved on them? __ (C)

How many of the Temptations' hometowns (listed on the stars) were NOT Birmingham? (Don't count if hometown not listed) __ (D)

How many human figures are there? __ (E)

Coordinates for Stage 2

N33 30. (A) __ (B) __ (B) __

W086 48. (C) __ (D) __ (E) __

STAGE 2
You should be in front of a "diamond".
How many corners are on this structure? Subtract 1 from that number. __ = F

Coordinates for Stage 3

N33 30. (A) __ (F) __ (F) __

W086 48. (C) __ (D) __ (D) __

STAGE 3
Find the sign. What year was the drug store established? Add each numeral to each other, then subtract 16 from that number.

__ + __ + __ + __ = __ __ - 16 = __ (G)

FINAL STAGE

W086 48 . C __ F __ G __
