Geocache Description:

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

I changed the puzzle to match the new location after maintenance.

Once there was a geocacher hiking around Anchorage for exercise. He or she (I forget which) wanted to get into the "zone". As geocachers often do, this one stepped off the trail, switched on their light, and found themself in the body (part) zone. After years, hours, or days of scrambling around the zone, one twilight they emerged to tell the gory story to the first Joe that would listen. It was Friday.

Joe said, "All I want are the facts, ma'am/man."

Well, okay ...

But, I must discourse a moment to say that the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Jack and Jill went up the hill

to fetch a cache named Quack.

Jack fell down and broke his back

and all his body parts went flying.

Me, sir, I came upon his skull a hanging.

If that weren't freaky enough, Jack's jawbone was moving and singing about things such as, the head bone is connected to the neck bone, ....

"Just the facts", said Joe Friday.

Oh, yes.

Jack's skull is located at: N 61 11.193 W AA9 45.5BB

where AA: Is the number of different types of skeleton bones named in the newer version of the bones song - Skeleton Bones.

where BB: Is the number of different types of bones named in the original version of the song - Dry Bones - minus 1 and that answer multiplied by 2.

This cache is not located at the above coordinates. This is on a hard packed trail. The 1.5 terrain rating is because of the last few feet of potentially wet and uneven ground (aka BOG).

 

CONGRATULATIONS Capra Hircus on the FTF!
