Geocache Description:


As many people know I'm in Kingston because I'm a student at Queen's, but over the past couple years I have learnt many things outside of the classroom. Geocaching is one of those. As it is nearing the end of the school year and seeing as I'm being tested on everything else I've learnt all year, I decided to put out a cache that reflects what I've learnt about geocaching in the last year. A final exam for Geocaching 101 if you will - I hope I pass!

It wouldn't be a good tribute if it didn't start with a puzzle, but I promise it's easy. I've included hints for every stage of the cache, so it should not be too difficult.

Puzzle starts below:

Congrats to Hamburking and Skottikus on their shared FTF!
