Geocache Description:

Stage 1 is in a 35mm film canister and is roughly 1/4 mile from the stage 2 ammo can. Neither stage will require straying more than 20-30 feet or so from the bike trail. Lookouts are recommended because of the high volume of muggler traffic along the trail.

Happy Big O! Birthday Dundee2!

What better way to celebrate your birthday than to have a geocache made especially for you! Inside is a birthday present, but in order to locate the cache and receive the present you’ll have to solve the following puzzle because the cache is NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.

Most of the students attending Dundee2 Geocaching School have birthdays during the school year. For those student’s who don’t have a birthday during the school year, a special birthday party is held on the last day of school. This year there are five students. In order to solve the puzzle (and thus, find the cache and your birthday present), you will need to figure out the five students’ birthdays, full names, and ages upon their birthday from the clues presented below.

1) Iris is younger than Elliott, who was born on August 6th.
2) Avery is older than Ken.
3) Amy is older than Scott and Elliott and has a birthday on the 16th.
4) Ken was born on the 6th.
5) The youngest person was born in June.
6) Wyatt and Eli are the two oldest.
7) Ada and Scott have the first and last birthdays in summer.
8) The student who will be 15 has a July 3rd birthday.
9) The 19th is in August.
10) Eli is 14 when school ends on June 8th.
11) Scott is the youngest.
12) Ken is younger than Amy by just 21 days.

The cache (stage 1) is located at
N 38º 5D.A82 W 094º B1.E1C where:
