Geocache Description:


M.T. Promises

Spring Hiking, 2015

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Please solve the puzzle described below to get the coordinates of the cache.

 

This is the final in a series of hiking caches for the spring of 2015 and beyond.

 

The goal of this year's series is putting an end to the ugly rumors that I have a preoccupation with hiding match tube caches.  Accordingly, the M.T. Promises caches all have the same guarantee:  Not one match tube was used in this series. 

 

The 5/5 rating awarded to this cache is due to the fact that a significant number of cache hikes must be completed to find it.  The rating for this final hike alone would be Difficulty 2.5 and Terrain 3.5.  The hikes can be done in any order.

The Puzzle

 

The log for each of the caches in the series contains a clue.  Be sure to write the clue down and take it with you. 

 

Click on the grid below and then print out a copy to work with.  By using the clues and some (virtual) poking around, you should be able to complete the grid, thus revealing the coordinates of M.T. Promises.  Verify your solution here.

 

Overall, an easier bunch of hikes than previous years.  You will enjoy them.  I promise!

 

 

The Prizes

 

The match tu... er, cache container for this final cache contains:

 

FTF:  $20 bill

STF:  $10 bill

TTF:  $5 bill

All finders:  Superior fitness, excellent health and a transcendent sense of fulfillment from having awarded well-deserved Favorite Points.
