Geocache Description:

THIS IS THE LAST LEG OF A 7-PART CACHE SERIES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ENJOY SOLVING PUZZLES!


The posted coordinates are for the Royal Arch, a great destination hike in its own right, but not the site of this final cache. First, you will need to have completed and interpreted the clue to each of the following six puzzle caches:

BCPT #1 - Boulder (GC1DKMY)
BCPT #2 - Superior (GC1E4GK)
BCPT #3 - Lafayette (GC1E4GN)
BCPT #4 - Louisville (GC1E4GQ)
BCPT #5 - Erie (GC1E4GR)
BCPT #6 - Longmont (GC1E4GT)

Each of these six caches requires solving a different kind of logic puzzle. All of them were designed to be challenging to different degrees, but none are of the 'evil' variety. In other words, no special knowledge is required and you should be able to logically come to a solution without having to guess.

The final cache is located at:

N 39 5(Louisville).(Lafayette)(Superior)(Boulder)
W 105 (Boulder)(Erie).(Longmont)(Superior)(Erie)

The final cache will require a short uphill hike. If you make it to the final, CONGRATULATIONS!! Relax and enjoy the sweeping views of all the places you've visited in making it this far. If you end up being FTF an appropriate prize awaits you. However, just completing the entire Tour is certainly commendable in its own right!
