I took a nice autumn walk on established trails the other day to
hide a cache. When I got home, I was surprised to find Snoopy, the
World War I Flying Ace, and part of his doghouse, on my GPSr!
Now, you may or may not agree that this inkblot looks like
Snoopy--only 66% of those I surveyed saw Snoopy. You can do the
cache even if you are not enlightened.
To find the cache, simply locate the trails where I hiked and go
to the point marked X in the picture. To help you out once you get
in the general vicinity, I will tell you that when expressed in DD
MM.MMM format, the latitude of point X ends in 15 and the longitude
of point X ends in 12.
When you arrive at point X, you'll be leaving the trail. The
cache location is approximately 215 feet northwest of point X. The
latitude of the cache ends in 41 and the longitude of the cache
ends in 43.
Update 11/4/07: New hints added. If you use the hints,
the difficulty is more like a 2. A few people (mtn_goat, Spivey,
vorticity, maybe others) figured out the puzzle and found the cache
without the hints--great job!
