Geocache Description:

* * * The above coordinates will not lead you to the cache * * *

! ! ! It’s an easy puzzle with a big reward, so read on before you hit the ignore button ! ! !

This is a geocache hybrid. It’s a puzzle-multi-cache specially created for the non-puzzlers.--- Read on, because this cache has real nice features. I like some challenge, to keep the old brain cells active and I like reward when I find a cache. All to often puzzles can be too hard or multi’s can be confusing or not well maintained resulting in a DNF. When I do a puzzle or a multi I want to get that smiley face.

So here’s the deal: Solve this puzzle and get four(4) smileys.

In the first (1st) puzzle cache, I’ll tell you where to find four (4) park and grab caches that are close by (update: used to be 5 but one has been archived. These p&g caches are puzzles also, but the coordinates will be posted in the 1st cache. If you make the effort to solve the initial puzzle, you’ll get 4 sets of coordinates and from there you can log 5 quick finds for a few minutes effort.

Now if you expend the effort to solve it, please keep the solution to yourself (NO SHARING PLEASE). I’m trying to cultivate the latent puzzle cachers (you and your geocaching friends) in the Greater Cincinnati Area. If you need help yourself, just e-mail me with your questions and I’ll provide whatever help you’ll need to solve it. Remember too, Goggle Search is your best friend.

Here are the coordinates: (assume N 39 and W 084)

Eliza McCardle, Hannah Hoes, Lucretia Rudolph.

Julia Dent, Frances Folsom, Dorothy Payne Todd.
