My personal project this past week has been doing research on the murals of Delta as prep for registering each with geocaches. Someone did geocaches with 6 of them a few years ago, but only one remains, so the way is wide open. Surprisingly, I am finding less than I thought would be available online. Have reached a stopping place with that and actually have enough information to register all 15 surviving murals commissioned by the city and 5 non-traditional commissioned by private citizens. I still have questions, though...I am rather curious. I plan to talk with the people down at the Delta Historical Society located in the Delta Museum before I consider myself done. I also found one of the artists on facebook and sent a message asking questions (will see if I get any response on that one). It has really been lots of fun finding out stuff, but also has taken up a lot of time. Starting last Sunday, Karl and I have been getting the coordinates for each of the murals. These will be multi-caches, with the coordinates for the mural as first stage and coordinates for a physical cache containing a log as the second stage. For you geocachers, you know physical caches must be 0.1 miles apart and a number of these murals are not! To see more of our Delta murals check out the June 1 blog post.
