Geocache Description:

The prize cache in the Prince George Pentcachelon

The cache is not at the above cords. Please read on.

To find this cache, you must successfully complete the other five caches and find the clues located in each of those caches to find your way here to the Finish Line
The caches are:

  1. Prince George Pentcachelon - Buckhorn Beauty (Watch for new cache Spring 2016)
  2. Prince George Pentcachelon - Outside the Box. (Watch for new cache Spring 2016)
  3. Prince George Pentcachelon - Way Out Westlake
  4. Prince George Pentcachelon - Wilkins Wonder
  5. Prince George Pentcachelon - Winther Memorial

Once you complete all the events, you will have collected the 5 clues necessary for solving the location of The Finish Line.

First, sort your clues in alphabetical order. Then, match each clue to its corresponding numerical value based on the following table (note there may be duplicate clues). This results in a string of 10 digits. The first 5 digits form the mm.mmm of the Latitude you are after and the last five digits form the mm.mmm of the Longitude.

A = 9
B = 5
C = 5
D = 1
E = 2
F = 1
G = 6

H = 3
I = 9
J = 3
K = 5
L = 4
M = 6
N = 4
O = 0
P = 8
Q = 2
R = 3
S = 4
T = 3
U = 7
V = 9
W = 4
X = 2
Y = 6
