Geocache Description:

USD 475 elementary tour.

The listed coordinates are to the first stop on this trip.

This is another attempt at a mystery cache. We hope everyone has as much fun figuring this one out as we had making it up.

The name of the cache is USD 475 because USD (Unified School District) 475 is where our son goes to school and where Mrs. Diecast64 works. This is our dedication to all the educators out there who have served to better our children’s lives.

Some driving is going to be needed to get the answer for the final coordinate. Hopefully we did not make this too confusing.

Currently there are over 10 schools in the district. We are only going to concentrate on some of the local elementary schools. Below are the coordinates to six schools in Junction City.

Here is your task. Go to each of the listed coordinates and write down the name of that school. Be sure to spell the name correctly or you will fail the test! After you have collected all of the school names you will need to use the code to solve the puzzle. Good luck and have fun.

School #1

N 39 00.593
W 096 51.551

School #2

N 39 00.928
W 096 50.193

School #3

N 39 01.471
W 096 50.119

School #4

N 39 02.260
W 096 49.839

School #5

N 39 02.337
W 096 50.950

School #6

N 39 01.493
W 096 50.832

Your task now is to use this code and find the final coordinates to answer the question and finish the puzzle.

A=1 K=1 U=9
B=2 L=2 V=8
C=3 M=3 W=0
D=4 N=4 X=1
E=5 O=5 Y=2
F=6 P=6 Z=3
G=7 Q=7
H=8 R=8
I=9 S=9
J=0 T=0

For the North Coordinates:

N ___ ___ ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___

4th letter of the 6th school is the first digit of the north coordinate
1st letter of the 2nd school is the second digit of the north coordinate
8th letter of the 4th school is the third digit of the north coordinate
5th letter of the 3rd school is the forth digit of the north coordinate
8th letter of the 5th school is the fifth digit of the north coordinate
1st letter of the 6th school is the sixth digit of the north coordinate
4th letter of the 5th school is the seventh digit of the north coordinate

For the West Coordinates:

W 0 ___ ___ ___ ___ . ___ ___ ___

2nd letter of the 1st school is the first digit of the west coordinate
1st letter of the 3rd school is the second digit of the west coordinate
7th letter of the 1st school is the third digit of the west coordinate
8th letter of the 4th school is the forth digit of the west coordinate
5th letter of the 2nd school is the fifth digit of the west coordinate
8th letter of the 1st school is the sixth digit of the west coordinate
6th letter of the 3rd school is the seventh digit of the west coordinate

Example: If the 3rd School was named Jefferson and the clue was 1st letter of the 3rd school then J is the correct answer and J=0.

The final is NOT a physical cache. All you need to do to claim this cache is to email me the name of the person that you find on the sign at the mystery coordinate. Happy caching.
