Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT found at the given coordinates! You will need to solve the puzzle to find the correct coordinates. Remember to check in the cache for the clue to the final cache (GC2G4V4) on the logbook.

Please do NOT park in the roadway. Trucks need to travel through here. Park in a nearby marked parking place for safety!


Cleopatra....pyramids....what else do you think of when you think of Egypt? Well, I think of numbers! The Egyptians had an interesting numbering system using (what else) hieroglyphs.

Here are the coordinates for the cache. You will need to convert the degrees, the minutes, and the decimal portion each separately:

I recommend following the link to a website about number systems.

The cache is an ammo box placed at a local business. The hill is steep, so do not attempt this cache if you feel you can't do it safely! (As of 8/8/11, the hill climb is easier, but D/T will remain the same for the benefit of previous finders. PLEASE stay out of the construction zone. It is not necessary to find this cache!) Permission to hide this cache was granted by Terry Lutz.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
