Operation: Metal Cave

 Part one: Word Search

The first stage of this cache is to solve the two word search puzzles below. Unlike other word search puzzles you may have done before there is no word list to work from. Your job is to find seven six letter words in each puzzle. Here is the catch: You have to find the seven same words in each puzzle. There are other words available, but there are only seven words that are common in each puzzle. Circle the words that you find and compare the list when you are done. Once you have seven six letter words that are in each puzzle you are ready for part two.



Part two: Elimination

Write the seven six letter words that you collected from part one in the boxes below. Enter them from left to right. You can enter them in any order you wish. Once you have them entered it is time to eliminate letters you do not need. Read the phases below and mark off all the letters that meet the conditions.

Rhymes with flea
Leave no loose N’s
Remove the R’s
No O’s
Close the eyes
Slash the A’s
Rhymes with Gel

Now convert the remaining letters to a number and add them up. For example Z = 26. Once each row has been completed add the last column together and divide your answer by 100. CONGRATULATIONS you have completed the puzzle!



Part Three: The Cache Location

To find the cache, simply take the number you found in the part two and subtract it from both the longitude and latitude of the published coordinates. The cache location does not follow typical Rontro hides. By that I mean, I decided to try something totally new. You can use the item nearby to help hide your activities while you look for the cache. The cache itself is VERY fragile please handle it with care. If it should become disconnected note it your log so that I can come fix it. You are looking for a bison capsule about 1 and 1/4 inch long.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
