where each letter or pair of letters represents a number that can
be found by identifying the following chapters and verses from the
King James Bible.
(Although we chose only fairly secular
verses from the Old Testament, that either offered an insight into
the sport of geocaching or referred directly to the finding of this
cache, we recognize that some people may not be comfortable with
using a bible to solve this puzzle. If you are offended or
uncomfortable, please read no further, and take this cache off your
hunt list.)
"Can two
walk together, except they be agreed?"
Amos A:B
"I made
haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments."
Psalms CCC:DD
"And the
Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the
Lord, and saith, From going to and fro in the earth and from
walking up and down in it."
Job E:F
"Let the
field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees
of the wood rejoice."
Psalms GG:HH
"So teach
us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom."
Psalms II:JJ
"Then said
all the trees unto the bramble, come thou and reign over us."
Judges K:LL
"For ye
shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains
and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all
the trees of the field shall clap their hands."
Isaiah MM:NN
"And lo, it
was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face
thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down."
Proverbs OO:PP
"He cropped
off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of
traffic; he set it in a city of merchants."
Ezekiel QQ:R
Puzzle hint: if the chapter or verse is a single digit number,
that will be indicated by a single letter to find; if it is a
double digit number, there will be two letters, and so on. A pair
of letters does not indicate that both digits in the number will be
the same (ex. "MM" might indicate either "22" or
"97".)
Another hint: "II" is a double digit number, and the first
digit is the last number of the latitude's coordinates while the
second digit is the first number of the longitude's
coordinates.
WARNING: DO NOT PARK along the busy,
shoulderless road to the east of the final coordinates!
There is plenty of safe parking northwest of the final
coordinates.The property managers have given permission for this
cache to be placed, so don't worry about the owners seeing you walk
to the cache. It IS a busy site with lots of drive-by traffic,
though, so try not to reveal the cache's location to geomuggles who
might plunder it.
The original trade goods follow a non-evangelical,
non-denominational, positive thinking/good wishes sort of theme,
and in accordance with geocaching's policy*, we ask that people do
not leave items of a proselytizing nature.
(Here, in response to a reader's request, we include the meaning of
the word, proselytize:
1 : to induce someone to convert to one's faith 2 : to recruit
someone to join one's party, institution, or cause.)
*"Geocaching.com does not permit the
advocacy of any particular religious or political agenda on its web
site." While this puzzle cache requires finding clues in a book
that is used as a reference document by several organized
religions, it is not the intent of this cache or the web site to
promote any particular belief system or viewpoint.
The clergy and the churchwardens have given their permission for
the cache to be placed. The mowing crew says to bring leather work
gloves and watch out for copperheads (there's a hint for you: it is
not a church of snake-handlers!) We placed the cache in an area
that collects wind-blown trash, so some CITO (Cache In, Trash Out
work) would be nice.
This cache may also be logged as a
Navicache find.
