How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Note that the cache is not at the listed coordinates. To determine the coordinates, you must decode the message below. In addition, YOU MUST ADD .004 TO THE LONGITUTE AND SUBSTRACT .199 FROM THE LATITUDE to derive the final cache coordinates.

Comparatively speaking, this puzzle cache is a walk in the park. You can find the information you need from a number of different sources, just be sure your source is complete (I've seen some that are not).

With the canopy cover, I was getting some erratic GPS readings at ground zero, but the hints should eliminate any problems you have.

To get the coordinates, you need to decode:

BI-SO-DIH NE-AHS-JAH TKIN A-CHIN D-AH A-WOH GLOE-IH TLO-CHIN A-WOH GLOE-IH NE-AHS-JAH AH-NAH A-CHI JEHA LIN THAN-ZIE TSAH A-KHA AH-LOSZ THAN-ZIE CHA

BI-SO-DIH TLO-CHIN TKIN A-CHIN D-AH DIBEH YEH-HES AL-NA-AS-DZOH A-WOH TSE-GAH AH-LOSZ DZEH AH-JAH KLESH YEH-HES AL-NA-AS-DZOH GLOE-IH AH-JAH KLESH D-AH

The cache is a small pill bottle. Please return the cache carefully.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

If you are not familiar with the trails, there are many nice views of the river and I encourage you to spend a little time and walk the loop. You may encounter a Blue Heron, which I’ve seen a number of times along the river and streams. If you do take a walk, you may find a short excursion to 40 33.070N 74 40.899W interesting.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com (final adjusted coordinates).
