A multi-point puzzle cache in Cedar Lanes Park.
** UPDATE ** Mosquito season is upon us...bring bug repellant for first WP!
This cache is named in honor for Mom of Team_Yox. She needed a nap so the crew and Dad headed out to go cache stashing.
To make this interesting we decided to make a puzzle out of it. It shouldn't be too hard...but we've been wrong before. The initial coords are for the first waypoint (then from there to the final). The final is off of the beaten path about 15 feet...my GPSr had ok coverage.
To plunder the treasure spot,
You must find the nursing rot.
Out where the water goes,
Seek ye the iron hose.
A ratio is what you seek,
When you cross the mini-creek.
It's the sum of the knowledge there,
That will yield the final pair.
So thank heaven
Seven over eleven.
A+B+C ---> (A+B+C)*B
D+E+F+G+H ---> (G+H+B)*F
Seven leads South of here,
Eleven heads West I fear.
The treasure is there I know,
Don't forget to stoop down low.
Now to finish my sad little rhyme,
For it's nearly time...to wake mom.
Happy hunting!
Congrats to Freak of Nature and Blue Power Ranger on co-FTF honors!
** NOTE ** To help facilitate the solving of the puzzle...I tweaked the ratio a bit (3 digits over 5 digits)...you get the same answer, but visually it might make a bit more sense (you'll know when you see it)
