Geocache Description:


PLEASE SEE THE 10/29/22 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS CACHE IN THE LOG ENTRIES BELOW.

You will need to find one of the odd-numbered caches and one of the even-numbered caches in “The Rec" Geocaching Trail series, in order to find this cache.

Their codes are: GC5DYZV (#1), GC5DZ3R (#2), GC5DZ4G (#3), GC5DZ4K (#4), GC5DZ4Q (#5), and GC5DZ4Y (#6)

At the top of the first page of the log for “The Rec Geocaching Trail” cache numbers 1, 3, and 5, there is a clue written as: ABC=XXX. XXX are the last three numbers in the North coordinates of this cache. If you find ANY of these three caches, you have what you need for the correct North coordinates. The North coordinates are: N 43° 11.XXX'

Similarly, at the top of the first page of the log for “The Rec" Geocaching Trail cache numbers 2, 4, and 6, you will find a similar clue: DEF=YYY, where YYY are the last three numbers in the West coordinates of this cache. If you find ANY of these three caches, you have what you need for the correct West coordinates. The West coordinates are: W 073° 02.YYY'

You will need both XXX and YYY in order to be able to locate this cache. The container for this cache is a large camoed peanut jar. It has been seeded with three Travel Bug residents. You can “Discover” any of the Travel Bugs that you find in the Hotel. But please, if you take one, be sure to log it on geocaching.com, so everyone will continue to know its location. Also, it would be great if you could deposit any Travel Bugs that you might want to, so that they can “communicate” with their fellow residents while they are residing there.

At some point you will find yourself on a marked bike path. Please stay on it, as the signs request, until you are almost at GZ. It is then a short distance to the cache.

Please be sure to put the cache back, exactly where you found it. The cache has been placed with the permission of the Manchester Recreation Department. There are no writing implements in the cache, so please BYOP.
