Geocache Description:


The dim light from a torch in the far corner made it difficult for me to identify the figure that entered the tomb. Her silent swiftness left no doubt that it was Lara. I had been expecting her. As she moved past me in the dark I caught a quick glimpse of her bare left arm. I knew in that instant that it was the real Lara. In the spot where Billy and the Dragon once resided, were what appeared to be coordinates.

Could this be the information I had been looking for all this time, right there in front of me? Lucky for me I was able to snap a photo with my infrared camera. Once she passed, I was out of there and on my way home. In the low red glow of my darkroom, as the film developed, my hunch was confirmed . There in front of me, the coordinates I had been looking for these many days.

With a little research I learned that each of the six sets of coordinates related to specific person and locations in five specific countries. I was able to arrange the letters of names of these countries in the order of the birthdays of the individuals to get a string of 36 letters. A little note here: when in doubt, girls always go first. The inscription on the back of the headstone I found the first day of my search and this string of letters must be the key.

As you might recall it was: (4) (2) (14) (7) 0 7 (4) (23) (11) 7 (16) 0 7 (28) (19) The solution to this mystery only required that I decode the numbers contained in the brackets ( ).

Once I figured out location of the cache I was on my way. You will need to hurry as it will not be long before Lara figures out where to go and she has been known to raid more than one of these tombs.

There is more than one way to reach this place, but any way you go will take you past the tombs. To make matters worse, if you enter from the wrong direction, you will need to cross over to the dark side. Be careful and listen for footsteps. Be sure you are not being watched. Lara is never that far behind.
