This is our first cache. We were tired of basic find and sign
caches so we decided to spice it up a bit. We hope you like it and
that its not too confusing!!! We recommend printing these
directions off to take with you!
Find these three stages and fill in the clues in the Stage
4
coordinates to reach the Stage 4 word puzzle
Stage 1
Note: Stage one can be easily completed by not even leaving
your
vehicle and we recommend such.
Coordinates:
N 35 19.337
W092 18.927
Clue:
GUY
Pop ABC
Stage 2
Coordinates:
N 35 19.521
W092 20.003
Clue:
S.S. G:30
M.W. E0:30
E.W. D:00
W.E. 7:00
Stage 3
Coordinates:
N 35 18.927
W092 20.662
Clue:
5F
23
4H
Stage 4
Fill in these coordinates from the above stages
Coordinates:
N 35 EC.EDA
W092 EF.BHG
When correct these coordinates will lead you to a plaque
that
fills in these blanks above the letters below...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. _ _ _ _ _ _
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U
To locate the final Stage in this cache you will need to fill
in
these blanks. Then you will assign a number to each letter.
For
example A=0, B=1,...,Z=25. Notice A is starting at 0 and not 1
to
allow for zeroes. Using the letters underneath the above
blanks,
fill in the corresponding numbers to the letters in the blanks
into
the Final Coordinates below. (If this is confusing there is
an
example below.)
Final Coordinates:
N 35 N.KCP
W092 N.SRR
a-0
b-1
c-2
d-3
e-4
f-5
g-6
h-7
i-8
j-9
k-10
l-11
m-12
n-13
o-14
p-15
q-16
r-17
s-18
t-19
u-20
v-21
w-22
x-23
y-24
z-25
For example: If the plaque said: In Loving Memory of John Doe
the blanks would be...
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
AB C D E F G H I J K L M N OP Q R S T U V W
I would be in the blank above A
n would be in the blank above B
L would be in the blank above C and so on
and for time's sake let's say the coordinates were:
AJP
WSQ
So since blank A is the letter "i" the corresponding
number to blank A is 8 (remember A is 0, so B is 1, i is 8,
z is 25, etc.)
Since blank J is the "e" in Memory, blank J's number is 4.
e=4
Since blank P is the "f" in of, blank P's number is 5. f=5
Since blank W is the "e" in Doe, blank W's number is 4. e=4
Since blank S is the "h" in John, blank S would be 7. h=7
Since blank Q is the "j" in John, blank Q would be 9, j=9
So the coordinates would be:
845
479
That's it. Good Luck!
There will be a camera in the cache soon for you to take your
picture and we'll try to publish them here when we get it all full!
Leave us a note in our log book! We have plenty of pages! Also we
are putting an aviation coin from North Carolina!
Have fun cacheing! CONGRATS TO L3D2 ON THE FTF!!!
The first two logs in our book were teams test running the cache
for it. So L3D2 gets the credit on first actual geocacher to find
without assisstance! But give it up for the other teams that test
ran it because there were several kinks in the first two drafts!
