Geocache Description:



THE GEOCACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE PUZZLE BELOW TO FIND THE CORRECT COORDS.

Also, no need to step on any plants. The area is surrounded by some wonderful flora, but other than getting around a branch, or stepping on a weed or random flower, no need to pick around the plentiful plant life.

Geocache is located at N 37ºAB.C62', W 12DºEF.708'. See below to solve digits A through F.

A = March Air Reserve Base, CA Add all the numbers up, then divide by 5. That will give you A.

B = Fort Johnson, NC (the actual town it's in ends with the word Port) Add all the numbers up, then divide by 7. That will give you B.

C = Winter's Hill Vineyard, OR (the actual town begins with an L) Add all the numbers up, then add 10, then divide by 9. That will give you C.

D = Panorama Mall, CA Take the first number of the zip code, then subtract the rest of the numbers from it. That will give you D.

E = The Original Hick'ry Pit, CA (to make sure you have the right one, it's located right next to a Kaiser Hospital) Add up all the numbers EXCEPT the first number, and subtract 24. That will give you E.

F= Coal County Public Library, OK Add up all the numbers, then divide by 9. That will give you F.

Good luck!
