Story:
This is the story of Tracy from Canada and
Johannes from Germany, who met in the US - quite international. The
first time we met, we both attended a training at a discipleship
center of Eastern Mennonite Missions (EMM). This was back in 1995
and took place in the state where the first picture was taken
(Tracy is the one on the left, Johannes the one right beside her,
both waving). The first clue is the state this picture was taken
in. If you cannot figure it from the image, you might as well look
up the location of EMM Headquaters.
One year later (1996) we met again, while Tracy visited Johannes in
a mountainous area (see second picture), where the grass is really
blue... Second clue is the state where they met.
One year later, we met again at the Mennonite Youth Convention
1997. Tracy came all the way from NY and Johannes from IN. But
where did we meet? The third picture will give you the clue.
Today (10 years later) we met again in 2007 right here in ...
(forth clue).
It was our first day geocaching and a great reunion. So we decided
to top it off by setting out a cache. So we did.
You can calculate the position as follows: Put all the states in
alphabetical order. Then find the position of the four states
mentioned above and add these numbers. Then add this number to the
digits after the point of the minutes of: N 47° 37.212' and W
122° 20.821' There you will find an international coin cach. It
initially has some Euros from different countrys, some Swiss coins
and some US cents in there. If you take one out, please put one in
as well. There always have to be coins from at least 3 different
countrys in there. Please do not enter any restricted areas. You
also do not have to enter an area, which you need a ticket for.
You can check your answers for this puzzle on

Special thanks to
nolenator, who chose the current spot and is taking care of
this cache for us!
