Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache. The cache is NOT hidden at the posted coordinates. To find the actual coordinates, you must answer the following questions (based on the Harry Potter books).

This cache was hidden the day the fifth Harry Potter book came out.
  1. How many chapters are in The Order of the Phoenix?
  2. How many more whacks did Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington get than Abby Borden?
  3. What day was Hermione born on?
  4. How many times was Wendolin the Weird burned at the stake?
  5. How many Weasley children are there?
  6. How many players are on a Quidditch team?
  7. How many total points do Harry and Ron earn for rescuing Ginny?
  8. How old are most students when they first go to Hogwarts?

Poison Ivy
Thorns
Long pants suggested
Write the answers (in order) to find the coordinates (in the usual decimal minutes format).

We will be happy to confirm your coordinates if you want to check with us before heading to the cache.

You will want to wear long pants for this one; there are plenty of thorns. It can also get pretty muddy. Although it is located in land zoned as a park, it's never been developed. This is not a good cache site for little kids. Parking can be a little tricky; we came in from the East side.

Congratulations to MeBuff8Fan on this FTF!
