Geocache Description:




Perhaps the most easily recognizable constellation in the night sky, Orion the Hunter rises in late fall, and stalks his prey along the edge of the ecliptic through early spring. In Greek mythology, he was a strong mortal. Skilled, beautiful, confident...and he knew it. Legend has it that Orion boasted openly of his hunting prowess and physical superiority, which angered the Gods. Some say he fell by a scorpion's sting, and some say his lover was tricked into killing him. Regardless of the story, the Gods frowned upon Orion's arrogance and punished him for his overly inflated ego.

So...ya think you're good at puzzles? Pretty confident in your mental capacities are ya? Well, when you're done here, you may also feel like you've encountered the wrath of the Gods. At the listed coordinates lies an ammo box that contains an entirely original puzzle that will have you seeing stars. Literally. Follow the instructions and try to discover the final coordinates. There is only ONE solution. Please take care when putting the game pieces back in the box. The terrain rating increases a half star during extended rainy weather.

Team YemonYime hasn't put out a cache in a while, so consider this to be what happens when our warped minds have time to stew. Please don't ask for hints or reveal any secrets in your logs, or the YittleYime will skewer you. (see my very first post). Besides, you'll much better appreciate the euphoria when you have that "a-HA! moment".

To reward the first cacher to figure this one out, I've included a new Red Jeep Travel Bug and a very rare version of our YemonYime geocoin...a Golden Yime with a blue moon glow.

Parking is somewhat limited, but there's room for a few vehicles just off of Oakridge Road at (N 40° 21.646 W 80° 07.878). Best to avoid blocking any gates or side roads. The trailhead is due north at (N 40° 21.676 W 80° 07.878).

Good luck, enjoy the cache...and have a stellar adventure!
