Geocache Description:

!!!!!NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES! POSTED COORDINATES ARE FOR NEARBY PARKING!!!!

YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO FIND THE COORDINATES TO THE CACHE!!


Back to Hogwarts

- School Trunk If you are pretty knowledgeable in all things Potteresque, the difficulty is a 2.5, if not, and you have to do a little research, then a 3.5.

Just under 1/2 mile round- trip from parking coordinates.

This cache is Harry Potter/Hogwarts themed, and stocked with all sorts of Back-to-Hogwarts items, including a shoulder-style back-pack,water-bottle carrier, parchment, quills, and erasers. Hogwarts crest items include: Water bottles Folders Harry Potter Trading Cards There are other items for the entire family.

**If you are a Potter-fan, please bring something you consider ”Magical” and are willing to trade for.

The “school trunk” is located in the same park that I found my first cache.

The last five digits of each coordinate (North and West) will have to be solved before you embark, so choose wisely. For Potter fans, you will probably find this a cinch, but for those who have lived without magic (Muggles and Sqibbs), it may be more of a challenge. All of the answers can be found in your text “A history of Magic”, by Bathilda Bagshot, or by going to the Harry Potter Lexicon, or other sites...

Example: you are solving for North, 39 degrees, the next digit will be the answer to question one, the second to answer number two, etc. The same pattern will follow for the West coordinates. ***

Depending on the season, you could be viewed by Muggles, so wear your invisibility cloak!!!

**** Good Luck!!!!!
