Geocache Description:

Welcome to our geocaching version of The Amazing Race. This puzzle cache is based on the popular CBS television show. Teams must provide their own means of transportation and GPS unit. Camera crew is optional.

Be sure your team is properly equipped on the race by bringing along a pencil and paper to record important information you will find along the way.


Please note that some information must be copied EXACTLY as it appears on the clue, including capitalization of lettering....





To begin, teams must make their way to the starting point for this leg of the race. Once there, they must enter the building and search for the highest number among an assortment of numbers displayed there. Once teams have found the required number, they must now figure out the location of the first cluebox using the following equation:

N 53 18.878 - (subtract) Number
W 60 20.460 + (add) Number

Detour
A Detour is a choice between two tasks. On the surface, one may seem easy but involves some sort of twist; the other may seem difficult but in the end may be the quicker choice. Each has its own pros and cons, and each will lead you to the next step in the Amazing Race.

Roadblock
A Roadblock is a task which one member of the Team is required to complete in order to receive the next clue. In this version of the Race, all members of the Team are free to help complete the task.

There is no Fast Forward on this leg of the Amazing Race.





Allow yourselves 2-3 hours to complete this cache as you will be traveling approximately 50 miles (80 kms) total, as well as collecting clues along the way to the final pitstop of the race.
