Geocache Description:

I had my coordinates all figured out, lining up the numbers with Rummikub tiles.

Then the baby came along and knocked them all on the floor.

Can you help put them back in order?


Arrange the tiles to make north and west coordinates. The coords you come up with should take you to an area where I planned to hide a cache. While I was looking for a good hiding place I accidentally dropped a Rummikub tile. I remember there were some stone markers nearby, maybe four or five of them, I think. Just west of there was a tree. It has a long root stretching out, don't trip over it. But look all around that tree. I'm pretty sure that's where I may have dropped the tile. I couldn't find it, maybe you can.

If you find the tile you can find the cache. Note the number on the tile.

Now put it back where you found it, and look all around you.

If the Rummikub tile is a...

2 - go SE 30' to a fallen log

3 - go NE to the last concrete marker

4 - walk East to the trail and look behind the tree on the other side

5 - go South about 50 ft to the large tree

7 - go NE aproximately 40 ft to a cut downed tree

8 - go SSW 25 ft to a small fallen hollow log

10 - go East 20' to south end of a fallen tree

12 - walk SE to the large tree on the other side of the trail

13 - go 25 ft NW to a tree with a small hollow at the base

You are looking for a large pill bottle. If you find what it's attached to you will find the cache

This cache contains the North coordinate for a nearby unknown cache "On The Sunnyside Of The Street?" (GC1EA8Z). To get the West coordinate you will have to find a micro not far from here, It All Adds Up (GC1EA85)

To the first three finders, take your respective Rummikub tile as a token of your visit.There is also a "Proximity Guideline Geocoin" there for a first finder to take and move along.

Be very discreet and try to stay out of sight at the cache site. Muggles appear quite suddenly around here. Please replace the cache securely covered, but not obvious.
