How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates; you must first solve a puzzle, before you can determine the real cache coordinates!

Almost everyone, at one time or another during their life, has tried their hand at Origami. For those who haven't, Origami involves folding a piece of paper in such a way that something beautiful is created.

To determine the final cache coordinates, you must take the piece of puzzle paper below, and you must determine how to fold it, so that the correct set of coordinates are displayed; we've provided some possible guide lines on the paper, to aid you in your folding; be forewarned that not all of the guide lines are actually used :-O




This should not be tremendously difficult, so hopefully more people will be able to solve this puzzle than have solved some of our earlier puzzles.

Due to tree cover, your GPS may not provide a very accurate reading, so use your geosenses!

You are looking for a medium medicine bottle, which contains a log only; be sure to bring your own pen or pencil. The cache is about 12 feet off the trail; walk carefully, so you don't create an obvious path to the cache. Please be sure to carefully rehide the cache, since this is along a popular trail. I've added some "vertically oriented" geo-sticks at the hiding place, so hopefully this will help to make it easier to find. You would be wise to check out the spoiler photo, before going after this cache!

Good luck!
