Geocache Description:


***Please note: The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You must first solve the puzzle!*** Shields Bark was inspired by Ranger Fox's wonderful "A Little Bird Told Me". My goal is to let everyone know about the wonderful dog rescues! This was my very first cache. Cache Overview: This cache is geared around one of my passions. Cat people may have a bit of trouble with this one, if so email/ call for hints. Composition: This cache is composed of a clue stage and a final. Stage 2 is a regular. The Clue Stage: The clues are N and W labeled pictures in the gallery here. Identifying them will result in one or two words. The Final Coordinates: Write the answers in the below table. The number next to your answer tells you to count to that letter in the word. For instance, in the word "coordinates", the number seven will give you "n". Write that letter down. From here, translate that letter into its numbered place in the alphabet: "n" will give you fourteen. Put that number into the non-shaded area in the table. After that, take the sum and you have the final coordinates.

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