simple to solve,

quick to complete;

and will entice

the intricacies of your inner mind.

Happy Caching !!

 

 

Stage 1:

IS at the listed Coordinates.

Your trek to slay the dragon begins here.

Completion of the following activities is required

in your pursuit of Stage 2.

1. To determine your direction of travel, search for,

and make note of, the ‘written directional word’

(North/ South/ East/ West) ‘posted’ at the listed coords.

2.      To determine the distance you must travel, solve

thefollowing PUZZLE.

a.      If A=1, B=2, C=3 etc, etc, etc, substitute the 4 letters

in the name of the ‘Commemorated’ individual

with the number equivalents.

b.     Add the 4 numbers together, and multiply the sum by 5.

(The total will give you the distance of travel, in FEET).

[This mathematical calculation was created

assuming you wear a size 7 shoe].

3.      To reach Stage 2, all you need to do is:

Walk the calculated distance, in the ‘posted’ direction.

It should be an easy stroll for those with a bit of stamina.

 

 

 

Stage 2:

Can you do a projection? -- Just asking??

Looking to the NORTH, you will see a series of letters

andnumbers that will assist you on your journey –

but, first, you must complete another assignment.

-         Substitute the 3 numbers in row 2

to obtain N 29° 57.xxx

-         Substitute the 1st number in row 3

to obtain W 095° 12.55y

 

 

 

Stage 3:

Your almost there;

You feel the warmth of the dragons breath all around.

While hanging around at this location, you will find

the coordinates for the final stage.
