Copy Cat Cache
This cache was inspired by Deja Vu, a multi-cache (my first) in Bismarck. I loved some of the features of it, and thus had to steal some of them and make my own multi-cache in Dickinson. None of the points are too terribly far from one another, shouldn't take too long to find them all. You'll have to use a little algebra here, but don't panic, it's not too hard. Another hint: if you get a 2-digit answer for what should be a 3 digit coordinate, add a zero to the beginning: if you get 12 it should be 012, not 120.
I hope you have fun with the first multi-cache in Dickinson!!!
Location #1
is the coordinates listed. At this interesting location there is a large item that was discovered at a certain distance from another local town. Remember that number, that number is A. You'll need it to help you find location #2
Now, here is a puzzle to help you find the other number you need to find location #2:
CJ likes soda pop very much. At the local convenience store, for 5 empty soda bottles he receives a full bottle. As he is caching in and trashing out he collects 77 empty bottles. Now, how many bottles of soda pop will he be able to drink in total? That number is B.
Location #2
Not too terribly far from location #1
of note, it is a public building, but tends to be accessible on weekends, just not federal holidays.
the coordinates are:
N46 deg 52. (83 x A)
W 102 deg 47. (B squared - 90)
now at location #2 you will need to go inside and find another number.
As many places like this, there are many numbers to be found. These numbers should help you narrow it down some:
try 797.1224 G559
towards the bottom of 120 it talks of how a duo was "inchanted" by the scenery around the river. About how many years ago was this? (what is written here) That number is C.
OR if for some reason that is not available, try this number: 917.86520434 L839
on 26 it speaks of all the varieties of birds to be found. Take that number and subtract 10. That is C.
Now a another puzzle to find the last number you will need to help you find location #3
Grandpa's age:
"My grandson is about as many days as my son is weeks, and my grandson is as many months as I am in years. My grandson, my son and I together are 140 years. Can you tell me my age in years?" Grandpa's age is D.
Now, you should have a ball finding the 3rd and final location:
it's coordinates are:
N 46 degrees 52. (C + 67)
W 102 degrees 47. (D +14)
This cache is a painted peanut butter jar with all kind of goodies, including:
logbook and writing utensil, Chinese currency, a few little lego men, 4 in the world travelbug, $10 for the first to find, seashell, marbles, Disney button, and a few other odds and ends.
Please make sure you rehide it well, If not well covered this will easily be found by muggles!
Thanks, and happy caching!
Thanks to Patterson Lake for "babysitting" our cache while we are out of the area! Please contact him if there are issues with the cache!
