Gipsie knew too much. She recently learned of
the inner workings of a secret cabal of cachers working on the
ultimate puzzle cache. These cachers had some pull and soon
the Cache Police took gipsie's beloved cat Borracha into protective
custody to ensure gipsie's silence. For her own good you
understand.
Now you have to realize that the Cache Police is
less of a law enforcement agency and more of a vigilante
group. They stuffed Borracha into a cache and hid her
somewhere in the Wharton State Forest. The Cache Police were
kind enough to leave the lid open so that Borracha could forage for
herself. However the cache is her only shelter and Borracha
does not know the way home, so she is not straying far from her
hiding place.
Borracha wants to be reunited with gipsie but the
Cache Police took her cell phone. She has no way to phone
home. However she found a hollow tree near where she was
hidden. Borracha discovered that if she scratched the tree
with her left paw it let out a booming sound. And if she
scratched the tree with her right paw a different but equally loud
sound came from the tree. Borracha had found a natural drum
that she could use to send a message to gipsie to be rescued.
So Borracha devised a code that she knew her owner
would understand and set to scratching her way to freedom.
The following pattern of tones from the natural drum where heard
for several days at Batsto village before the drum fell silent.
3-3 4-3 6-2 3-1 8-1 4-2 3-2
2-1 9-4 4-3 6-1 8-2 8-1 4-2 6-1 2-1 7-3 5-2 8-1 4-2 3-2 6-2 2-3 6-3

Where is Borracha? Why did the drum go
silent? Can you find her before she runs out of food? There
are plenty of blueberries nearby but Borracha wants tuna, which is
in short supply. Break the code and rescue Borracha so there will
be a happy family reunion. Borracha is counting on you!
Bonus: There is a
benchmark
at the posted coordinates. This is a good benchmark to learn
the basics on.
