Geocache Description:

The listed coordinates are BOGUS and the CACHE is within 2 Km


The Semaphore Flag System uses two short poles with square flags, which a signalman holds in different positions to signal letters of the alphabet and numbers. The signalman holds one pole in each hand, and extends each arm in one of eight possible directions. Except for in the rest or start position, the flags cannot overlap. The two signalmen (Mr. Canis and Mr. Sus) are displaying specific real flag positions to assist you in solving this puzzle.



Decipher what Mr. Canis is displaying and you'll learn the NORTH coordinates.



Decipher what Mr. Sus is displaying and you'll learn the WEST coordinates.


You can check your answers for this puzzle onGeochecker.com


Important Notice.....The cache was moved slightly to a non muggle area. Adjust the solved coords by adding (+) .004 to the North coords and subtracting (-) .010 from the West coords.
