Geocache Description:


The keys to unlocking this cache are located in the links below. Follow the slugs as they make their way from cache to cache. If you are fast, have close trusting relationships with other cachers or are simply innovative enough, you will be able to retrieve the codes traveling with each one of these slugs. The codes will give you the coordinates for “Skeleton Keys”.

Once you have obtained all 12 of the codes from these slugs, plug them into this formula and locate the hidden ammo box!

N4T1T2T3T4T5T6W8T7T8T9T10T11T12

The “Skeleton Keys” ammo box contains another puzzle that you will need to solve to get the coordinates for the cache “Spinal Coord”.

Once you have located “Spinal Coord” , you will be faced once more with another puzzle to solve. Solve that one and you will be rewarded with the coordinates to the final cache in this series: “The Bone Collector”.

You will need a water craft during the warmer months and if you are lucky, you might be able to walk to the cache during the winter.

Please do not post any hints in your logs.
