Since my wife likes water alot, I thought that for her birthday I would find a nearby body of water without many caches near it and place some caches around it. The Quemahoning Reservoir fit the bill perfectly. Each of the W4W caches contains some of the coordinates for the (not yet published but in the works) "Water for the Wife" Series Final cache, so you will want to bring pen and paper with you to jot down the coordinates. You may want to drive carefully in the area - I came around one bend to find a doe and fawn in the middle of the road while placing these caches!
To solve this puzzle, you will need to use a Bible. If the Bible, Christianity, or religion offends, you may wish to find an alternative cache to search for. This cache is not intended to be offensive, pushing religion, etc, in any way; it is simply an attempt at a puzzle cache which my wife (whose birthday it is) and many others will enjoy.
To find the cache, use the verses and words below to determine the directions to the cache from the parking coordinates. These directions were created using the New International Version of the Bible; if you do not have one, you can find it at www.biblegateway.com. (You may also try to use other translations, and you may be able to guess which words would apply to looking for something in the woods and piece it together - but the NIV is what the descriptions below exactly refer to).
The information you need to find the cache can be found at these places:
Genesis 11:7, 4th and 5th words
Matthew 13:4, 10th and 11th words
Judges 7:5, 6th thru 9th words
Isaiah 30:21, 8th thru 10th words
Malachi 1:5, 1st three words
Psalm 18:36, 3rd and 4th words
Joshua 3:3, last two words
1 Samuel 15:35, 1st word
Psalm 50:18, 1st three words
Joshua 19:33, 8th and 9th words
2 Chronicles 32:3, 10th word
Proverbs 4:14, 6th thru 7th words
1 Kings 21:18, 1st three words
John 21:4, 8th and 9th words
Isaiah 30:21, 3rd thru 6th words
John 1:39, 5th thru 7th words
Galatians 3:13, last two words
1 Chronicles 20:6, 15th and 16th words
trunks
Luke 11:9, 14th thru 18th words
The cache container contains only a logbook, though it could also hold small trade items. BYOP.
As of 7/25/08, these caches have been placed. The decision to place these for my wife on the occasion of her birthday was fairly impromptu and consequently the containers and logbooks for these caches are not ideal, because I was working with what I had with me at the time that I made the hides. Some of them are not as weatherproof as is ideal. We will improve the caches to be more suitable to their locations within the next week or so, but they should hold out fine 'til then, and I wanted to go ahead and place these for my wife's birthday. Happy birthday, Megan!!!
