Geocache Description:



My Amazing Vacation, by Norbert


Well my friends, it has been a very interesting year. After moving to Kansas and then losing my job, I decided to take a much deserved vacation. As you probably know, holidays can be pretty costly these days, and this one was no exception. You won't believe where I went and the places that I saw! All I can say is that it was nice to come back to the Lower Mainland again (see the cool picture of me??) To celebrate my trip, I decided to hide a geocatch and make a puzzle for all you smarty-pants catchers. Maybe you can find it if you try!!


   
I have listed the coordinates for ten of the places I visited. All you have to do is go there (Google Earth works the best, and it's a lot cheaper!!), and find the first letter of the nearest landmark. Once you have all 10 letters, you can solve the location of my puzzle geocatch. Here are the cool places I went:


Stop # Coordinates

First Letter of Nearby Landmark

(that's what you have to find!!!)


1 N 43° 40.818', W 75° 17.985'  
2 N 36° 17.437', W 118° 23.993'  
3 N 22° 34.187', E 76° 48.008'  
4 N 47° 34.795', W119° 35.988'  
5 S 25° 9.001', W 48° 0.001'  
6 S 00° 29.333', E 29° 47.984'  
7 N 41° 16.800', E 37° 42.000'  
8 S 34° 41.996', E 144° 59.998'  
9 N 66° 9.598', W 137° 11.998'  
0 N 63° 40.334', E 129° 59.995'  

Once you have them all, you can find my hidden treasure at:


North 49° M(C+N).IPT West 122° H(V-P-M).(S-T)CS


(Note: there is no multiplication required. Just find the 10 digits you need)
