This is a multi/puzzle cache which is "kid friendly". The puzzle is easily solvable in the field, and the cache should be easy to find, given the name of the cache!
Head to the cache coordinates above. On the kiosk, you will find the words PEAKED MOUNTAIN. Below those words are 7 other words - count the total number of letters in those words. You will have a two digit number. AB
Now, head to waypoint 2 at the following coordinates:
N 42 0A.00B
W 072 20.B0A
At waypoint 2, you will find a large boulder next to a tree with a number on it. Take this number, and multiply it by 3. This number is YZ.
Now head to waypoint 3 (the final) at the following coordinates:
N 42 3.YZ0
W 072 20.6YZ
The cache is located at Peaked Mountain Reservation, a Trustees of Reservations, property, and was placed for the Great Northern Tier Geocaching Tournament 2010 – Pioneer Valley - GC25K44. It is now available for any Geocacher who wishes to visit the cache, and enjoy the area after the event.
Team Dilemma would like to thank the TOR for allowing us to enjoy their properties! More information about the TOR can be found at their website, which can be found by cicking on the "[Related Web Page]" link above.
The Peaked (pronounced “pea-kid”) Mountain reservation lies amid one of the most pristine, undeveloped areas of the state, with broad, spectacular views of undisturbed rural and forested landscapes in every direction. From the 1,227-foot summit of Peaked Mountain, one can gaze northward across the Quabbin Reservoir watershed and glimpse New Hampshire's Mount Monadnock. Gaze northeast and you can see Mount Wachusett.
As you search for the cache, you will be treated to 4 1/2 miles of wooded trails that lead through quiet woods that attract songbirds, such as thrushes, warblers, blue jays, cardinals, and black-capped chickadees, as well as turkey vultures, hawks, and barred owls.
