Geocache Description:


A courier just delivered a handwritten message to your door. It reads:

My dear friend and intrepid traveler,

After much planning, I have prepared a new and exciting challenge for you. Called Around the World in 80 Caches!, it requires patience, ingenuity, and the ability to handle the unexpected. In this journey, you will be venturing into several countries, 80 in all, in search of concealed artifacts. The countries will lead you to continents, and the continents will lead you to the ultimate prize, hereafter known as "The World." Based on your experience and past adventures, I am confident you will succeed. As always, travel safe and be sure to document your findings. I look forward to hearing all about your grand expedition.

Your great admirer,

Jules Verne



IMPORTANT NOTE: Information in this cache will help you solve Europe: ATW80 (GC1MGAC), a puzzle cache tied to the European countries.



Scotland -- the ancestral homeland for Tartanite. The family owned Culzean Castle until 1945 when it was turned over to the National Trust for Scotland ( damn inheritance taxes ! ). Scotland -- famous for golf, scotch, and -- well what more does a man need? A flag for the FTF. The letter for the code is "B"
