Geocache Description:

Cache In, Trash Out, New Cache


There is no cache at the posted coordinates, although it is a good parking spot

It happened again! While practicing CITO elsewhere, I found a container that I cleaned (very thoroughly!), and repurposed.
Since the container is re-used, here is a puzzle involving word reuse. Match the letters in the picture, identifying parts of a tree, to the numbers for the clues below, which re-use the tree part names.

0: Ruler’s headgear 5: Long nose/clothes box
1: Prisoner accommodations 6: Book page
2: Remote bank office 7: √ (radical, dude) / cheer(for)
3: Dog call/scrape skin 8: Labor result
4: Dining implement 9: Goblet middle/originate(from)

Now calculate:
(KL) = F * I
M = G - I
N = D + E
P = H * H
Q = A + H
R = J + E + A
(ST) = J * (I + C)
U = (B + C) / A
V = D + D + D
X = F - B
Y = C * A * H / G
Z = B

The cache is located at: North KL MN.PQR, and  West ST UV.XYZ

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

Small prize for the First Finder.

(If you're ready for it, continue down Pine Swamp Road for the more challenging Rudy Ridge cache.)


This cache is placed with DCNR approval

Congratulations to the first finders:
