Geocache Description:


This Cache Is Not At The Posted Coordinates

 

Middle Road, turning into Locust Street spans 20 miles, beginning in northeast Bettendorf and ending in western Davenport. It is a thoroughfare for traffic in Scott County.  

This is a FTF Power Trail, beginning at the start of Middle Road.  A "Power Trail" is a series of at least 50 geocaches within close proximity.  A "FTF Power Trail" means that if you are the "first to find" (i.e. the 'FTF') of a cache in this series, PLEASE 'pay it forward' by placing the next cache along this trail, and do so within two weeks of getting the FTF.  Keep in mind that some areas will be higher muggle traffic than others, so you may have to be creative in your hides, or may have to dive slightly off course to put out a hide.

Bring a log extraction tool and a pen to sign this one, You must sign the log sheet to claim this find online, I reserve the right to delete online logs if your name's not on the log sheet. No Hints in your online log or it will be deleted. Thank you! and Happy Caching!

*** Please park legally and safely when hunting for all of these FTF Power Trail caches! ***

 

Congrats to: IAWarrior on the 'FTF' !

 

The Puzzle Click Here

 At the posted coordinates is the intersection where Middle Road Officially turns into Locust Street! There are 38 Middle to Locust FTF Power Trail caches on Middle Road. Thats a total of 12 CO's on this trail so far! I thought I would try and make this a milestone cache of sorts. I made a fun crossword puzzle using all the CO's names. 

To get to the final. After you have completed the crossword there is a red number in the boxes, take the letter in that box and convert it into a number in the A=1....Z=26 typical fashion. If there is a number in the box, no conversion is necessary. Then plug them into the equation below. Enjoy!

N41 (1+2) (3) . (4-5) (6-7) (8)

W90 (9-10) (11) . (12-13) (14) (15)
