Multi-stage micro, walking on a sidewalk and one of the many RH paths. Length of walk is approximately 1 mile.
The listed coordinates are the start of a circular walk, approximately 1.4 mile long, that I take with my dog Lizzie. I suggest that you park on the cul de sac at the listed coordinates. Before starting this walk you will need to know the only 2-digit perfect number (P). After getting out of your car you can turn off your GPS, since you will not need it until you retrieve a series of numbers on your walk. There are 5 stages at which you gather additional information. It is very important to pay careful attention to description for each stage. Stage #1 - Walk out to Great Star Drive and turn right. At next intersection go down hill. Right before the mail boxes, there is a 4-digit number on an object; however, only the last three digits ABC are important. Note: Not a house number. Numbers are located higher than MJ (as in Jordan) can touch by jumping. Stage #2 - Take paved path into woods. At the steel bridge count the number of very large X’s that number is DE; Stage #3 - At T intersection (at end of bridge) recall walk is over a mile long, this should tell you which way to turn. Proceed to a wooden bridge where you will find a unique pattern of objects FGHGHGF where each letter represents the number of identical objects close to one another. Note: There are actually two possible objects with this pattern. The correct one can be determined by checksum provided. Stage #4 - Continue on path, cross street, and resume walking on path till you reach a RH playground. K is the playground number. Stage #5 - Walk up hill till you encounter another playground. Let L be the number of sum of the number of turtles and horses you see. Checksum = A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+K+L = 33 You have now gathered enough information to calculate the cache coordinates. There are benches at the playground and you might as well sit down and do a simple calculation to find the final cache coordinates. The cache coordinates are N 39 11.GAD and W 76 55.XYZ where X = (P/H) - K, Y = (B+C) – (F+D), Z = E – L. Check Sum = X + Y + Z = 17 The cache is a pill bottle attached to a tree that only contains a log. Bring your own pencil. Stealth maybe required since cache is only about 5 feet from a path. The listed coordinates are actually the center of my driveway. If I am home, after finding the cache, drop by and say hello.
