This is a series of five caches – four traditional and one
mystery/puzzle cache that will take you on a tour of New Berlin's
best parks. To find the coordinates for the final, you must first
demonstrate your knowledge of the rules of Shotgun by finding each
of the four traditional caches. Each cache contains partial
coordinates for the final.
Shotgun! refers to the front passenger seat of a vehicle, where
there’s more legroom, access to the radio and temperature
controls, and of course, an unobstructed view of your surroundings.
According to legend, this term got its name from the days of
covered wagons, where a passenger carried a shotgun to protect the
travelers from bandits while the driver was free to concentrate on
driving.
The basic rule of Shotgun is that the first person to yell
Shotgun! wins his or her place in the front seat next to the
driver. However, what usually happens is a long, heated argument
about the rules. Right? Well, lucky for you, RatMatt is here to
clear it all up for you once and for all. Here are the official
rules of Shotgun!. It doesn’t matter what you may have heard
from anyone else. These are the rules. Period.
Rule 1 –
GC25HNY
Rule 2 -
GC25HNQ
Rule 3 -
GC25HP1
Rule 4 -
GC25HPX
Final -
GC25GDV
Rule 3: No pre-hollering. It’s completely
against the rules to yell “Shotgun! on the way
back."
However. . . . if you just make a quick stop in a
gas station or travel rest stop, you retain your Shotgun! rights
for five minutes. After five minutes, it starts over.
