For this mystery cache you will need satellite-imaging software
such as Google Earth to find the cache. Below is a picture of a
crop circle located within a 6-mile radius of the coordinates
listed above. (The coords listed above are for reference only.
They are not the location of the cache.) Your first mission is
to locate the Crop Circle by using the satellite pictures.
Once you have located the Crop Circle you will need to find the
cipher to solve the puzzle. To do that, find the street that this
Crop Circle is located off of and take each letter of the street
name and convert it to it numeric equivalent.
For example… Main St. M=13, A=1, I=9, N=14. Add all the numbers up
to give you “A”
Once you have solved for "A" plug that number into the formulas
below to find the cache location.
(A x 145) + 31 = N42 xx.xxx
(A x 275) + 12 = W072 xx.xxx
(Replace the commas with
decimal points.)
As a double check you can verify your coords are correct by looking
back at the Crop Circle you found and completing the arrow at the
top. The cache should be located within .40 miles of the direction
the Crop Circle is pointing.
To find parking for the cache...
Add .069 to the North coords.
Subtract .460 from the West coords.
Please do not try to access this cache from any other spot because
you would be trespassing on private property.
Total distance round trip is about .9 miles. The cache is a 11” x
7” x 6” Ammo box loaded with goodies for the first few finders.
