THIS CACHE IS NOWHERE NEAR THE ABOVE
COORDINATES.
We love mystery caches and this is our first attempt at writing
one. We hope you enjoy it. We thank Kostia for her help and the
original idea.
Susan and Ron have several hobbies and one involves visiting
lighthouses around the country. We have learned much about the
technology of these sentinels, from the hauling of oil to the top
of the lighthouse by hand to the only US lighthouse with an
elevator.
This puzzle is not about height, number of steps or the outside
painting of lighthouses (day marks). It focuses on equipment and
Florida lighthouses of the past and the present. It uses the
original installations. Good luck.
The location of the cache can be found at the following:
N 27. EB. 98A
W 082. BF. 0CD (That’s a zero)
Where A, B, C, D, E, and F relate to the following
lighthouses:
- A. Sanibel Island Light
- B. Cedar Key Light
- C. Cape Canaveral Light
- D. Pensacola Bar Beacon
- E. Northwest Passage Light
- F. Hillsboro Inlet Light
Now there is one more step. When the coordinates are decoded add
XX.X7.012 to the WEST coordinate.
The cache is an easy find.
When you get to the cache site, you will see the light but not
the house.
