The cache is NOT at the above coords.
Solve the puzzle below to locate.
As a gift, I gave each of my family members
their own cache containers to either place a cache or give them
back to me and I would place them so they could find. This is
stever525’s.
No, it’s not in the infield of this Road
Racing course. It is someplace close though.
We were first introduced to this race track
last year when our son decided he wanted to be a flagger
here. All flaggers are volunteers and they all LOVE
racing. You’d have to in order to give up several
weekends from May – Oct to come out to the track and wave a
flag…for FREE! Flaggers go largely unnoticed.
The real stars are the drivers. But at this track, the drivers
appreciate the flaggers and demonstrate that regularly.
Without the flaggers, the drivers couldn’t race. So
this cache is dedicated to all the unsung hero’s; those folks
dressed in white, waiving flags at every turn, allowing the drivers
to drive and the spectators to spectate - the Volunteer Flaggers at
Waterford Hills, but especially to stever525.
Read the short info below and solve puzzle to
find the solution.
Things flaggers should know:
|
|
GREEN FLAG - Go!
The green flag is waved by the starter to indicate the beginning of
a race, qualifying or practice session. It is waved after a caution
to tell the drivers that the race has been restarted. The green
flag also is an indication that the course is clear of any
obstacles or debris.
|
|
|
YELLOW FLAG - Caution
The yellow flag is the signal for caution. When it is held
stationary it is an indication that there is a problem ahead.
Drivers must slow and refrain from passing. A waving yellow flag
indicates immediate danger ahead. Drivers must be prepared to stop
and cannot pass, although they can close the distance to the car
immediately in front. Yellow flags can indicate problems in one
area of a track when waved by only one or two corner-workers. A
"full course caution" (or yellow) is when all flags around the
track are being waved.

|
|
RED FLAG - Stop!
When a race is "red flagged" it is stopped due to some condition
that has made the track unraceable. These conditions can range from
weather problems to accidents to surface problems such as oil on
the track. A red flag often means the track has been completely
blocked by an accident or debris and there is no safe route through
the problem. As soon as a red flag is shown, drivers must
come to a stop as quickly and safely as possible.
|
|
|
|
WHITE FLAG - Last Lap
When waved by the starter the white flag indicates that a driver is
entering the last lap of practice, qualifying or a race. It is
waved continuously to all cars following the leader until the
leader approaches the finish line. In some areas the white flag is
used by corner-workers to indicate an ambulance or slow moving
vehicle on the track.

|
|
|
CHECKERED FLAG - Finish
Line
One of the most familiar symbols worldwide, the checkered flag says
"racing!" It is waved by the starter to indicate the finish of the
race, practice session, or qualifying run. The checkered flag is
waved for all finishers. The race winner usually collects a
checkered flag for a victory lap around the track.
|
|
|
|
BLACK FLAG (Infraction)
Drivers hate being "black flagged" because it always means bad
news. The black flag generally means that there has been an
infraction. The driver must bring the car to the pits on the next
lap.
|
|
|
|
BLUE FLAG - Passing and
Overtaking
The blue or passing flag has different meanings depending on how it
is held and whether it is used during practice, qualifying or
racing. Generally when it is held motionless it is an indication to
a driver that there is a faster car following closely behind, but
not yet close enough for a pass. A waving flag generally indicates
that the driver is about to be overtaken and should take care to
permit the following vehicle a safe pass.
|
|
|
|
YELLOW/RED FLAG - Surface
Problem
Often called an "oil flag", this flag indicates there is a problem
with, or change in, the surface ahead. This commonly means there is
oil on the track. It also can mean water or another substance
causing a change in the racing surface.
|
|
|
|
BLACK/WHITE FLAG -
Unsportsmanlike Conduct
The black and white flag is used in some series to indicate
unsportsmanlike conduct. This is typically held motionless next to
a pit board with the car number on it. The driver may be penalized
when this flag is shown.
