This multi-cache is a series of three easy riddles. The riddle here will point to the first stage of the cache. In the first stage, you will find a riddle directing you to the second stage. The second stage contains the final riddle which will point to the final cache. Stages one and two are small plastic bottles; the final cache is a medium sized Tupperware container with some tradeable items.
The riddles in this cache use alpha-numeric substitution- that is, A=1, B=2, C=3, and so forth. Sub the numbers that correspond to the letters in the riddle’s answers into the given coordinate equations to find the coordinates for the following stage. Solving the riddle will not only give you the coordinates, but also a hint for what to look for at that stage.
None of the riddles should be too difficult (we don’t really like the hard ones), and each stage points to an interesting and (we think) underappreciated location along the Mink Brook trails. Total walking distance round trip should be about .6 mile. The given coordinates are for the trailhead parking area.
Happy riddling!
