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 & ???
