Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates.

In his popular book Mormon Doctrine Elder Bruce R. McConkie, LDS Apostle, stated: “the day will come when temples will dot the earth” and that “this final dispensation is now and in greater measure is yet to be the great era of … temple building” (Mormon Doctrine, pages 781, 723). This cache highlights the fulfillment of that prophesy.

Thanks to this website for the info needed to set up this cache. From this website you can download a cool Google Earth KMZ file that shows all of the temples dotting the earth. Downloading this file is NOT necessary for finding the coordinates, it's just cool. To find the coordinates, simply use the links provided below.

This cache is part of a 3 part series: Dotting the Earth - Utah, Dotting the Earth - United States, Dotting the Earth - World
FTF prize, an unactivated geocoin, for the first cacher to find all 3 caches in this series and email me the complete list of matching temples for the satellite images!

To find the true coordinates of the cache, match the satellite images with the correct temples. Then, find the cache using this formula:
N [A2]0 [I1][B1].[K2-1][L2-2][H1+2] W 1[E1][M2] [D1][F1+5].[J3-1][C2+G1][B2]

(Number next to temple indicates the order in which it was completed and dedicated)
(A2 = use the second digit from the temple that matches "A")

A -> B -> C -> D ->
E -> F -> G -> H ->
I -> J -> K -> L ->
M ->
