Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the listed coordinates!!

This is the sixteenth in a series of caches put around the area to celebrate the annual youth musical comedy performed by the Foothills United Methodist Church (FUMC) youth group in Rescue. This sixteenth cache is a small camoed match container.


Kudos to Twiddleflip for FTF!

In 1991 the Foothills United Methodist Church's Youth Group began an annual tradition of putting on an original musical comedy as a combination fundraiser and way to teach the kids from the junior and senior high youth groups to work together toward a common goal.

This cache location is in the general vicinity of Bass Lake, which is very close to Foothills Methodist and many of the characters from each year's play.

The sixteenth FUMC production, "King Con" was the fifteenth of the FUMC plays completely written from scratch by Gplamy and wife. It was performed in the spring of 2009. It details the story of how a simple clerical error within the Royal Family can cause confusion and a host of unexpected events. Throw in a diabolical, power-hungry con-artist and you've got trouble!

To find the coordinates for this cache, create a 10 by 10 square box which you will fill in with the following information from the FUMC History #13-15 caches, in this order:
#13 Hero, #14 Hero, #15 Hero, #13 Heroine, #14 Heroine, #15 Heroine, #13 Villain, #14 Villain, #15 Villain. You should have no extra spaces left over. Do not include any of the spaces between words for any characters which have more than one word in their name. Once you have done this, the coordinates North AB CD.EFG West HIJ KL.MNO can be determined by solving the following:

A = (1,1) - (9,10)
B = (8,2)
C = (8,3) - (10,7)
D = (2,9) - (1,9)
E = (3,5) - (7,8)
F = (7,5) - (3,9)
G = (4,9) - (4,4)
H = (5,2)
I = (6,10)
J = (3,7) - (5,6)
K = (6,1) - (6,7)
L = (5,5) - (10,1)
M = (4,6) - (9,6)
N = (7,4) - (5,5)
O = (1,10) - (2,2)

Each cache in this series will have information regarding the characters of the Hero, Heroine, and Villan of that particular play. Make a note of these character names when you find the cache, as they will play a part in locating every fourth cache in this series. Caches GC1Y48M, GC1Y499, and GC1Y4A7 will all contain part of the information necessary to locate GC1Y4BJ.
