Geocache Description:


note - the cache is not @ the posted coordinates - you must solve the “cross states” puzzle below to determine the actual coordinates

are you on the way in or out of town?!?!?!

we spent spring break exploring all over Arizona - before we left for Arizona, we collected some TBs/GCs from the caches in this area & relocated them to Arizona - while in Arizona, we collected some TBs/GCs & brought them back to NC with us - that led to our idea of starting this cache - our hope is that you will take TBs/GCs from this cache & relocate them in far away caches (…in other cities or counties or states or countries!) & that when you retrieve TBs/GCs from far away caches (…in other cities & counties & states & countries!!!) you will relocate them to this cache

to find the actual coordinates for this cache…

1) fill in the name of every state in the puzzle above…50 states = 50 answers

2) the highlighted boxes/letters correspond to a crossword # - for example…there is a highlighted box in 33 across - this highlighted letter will become a # which in turn will be a digit in the coordinates

3) to determine a letter’s # value, see the chart below - for example…if the highlighted letter in 33 across is “w”, the # value is “3”

a = 1      f = 6      k = 1      p = 6      u = 1
b = 2      g = 7      l = 2      q = 7      v = 2
c = 3      h = 8      m = 3      r = 8      w = 3
d = 4      i = 9      n = 4      s = 9      x = 4
e = 5      j = 0      o = 5      t = 0      y = 5
                                            z = 6

4) to determine the placement of that letter’s # value in the actual coordinates, see below 

N 36.0 “42 down”. “35 across” “33 across” “47 across” 
W 80. “6 across” “7 across”.“21 down” “40 across” “9 down” 

now go find our cache - loaded with 19 TBs/GCs & a log book & 
a FTF prize & ???
