Geocache Description:

A pretty spot near a lake in Highlands, NC.

This is the optional "bonus cache" in the Highlands Lake Series. This cache can only be found with information obtained from the logbook or logsheet of each of the four caches ("Club", "Mirror", "Harris", and "Sequoyah") in the series.

First, (obviously!) the coordinates above are wrong!

The correct coordinates are:

  • N 35 03.ABC
  • W 083 11.DEF

The clues to determine the final coordinates are as follows:

  • A = CLUB less MIRROR
  • B = SEQUOYAH
  • C = SEQUOYAH less HARRIS
  • D = MIRROR less HARRIS
  • E = MIRROR less SEQUOYAH less SEQUOYAH
  • F = SEQUOYAH plus HARRIS


Check figures:

A+B+C+D+E+F=XY

X+Y=3

[Thanks to OzGuff and his "CCCC" cache series for this format!]

You are looking for a lock-n-lock container. I hope you enjoy the series!

FTF honors go to ffuGzO!
