This is a mystery cache. The listed coordinates are for the
parking. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the final
coordinates. You need to make a couple of keen observations. The
final coordinates are within 1 mile of the listed coordinates and
northwest of them.
Consider the following list of short sentences. Each sentence
contains two hidden and somewhat opposite elements that form an
obvious pattern or connection to a common theme.
To solve this puzzle, you need to:
- Discover the two different sets of hidden elements in the
sentences below and deduce the theme.
- Once you know the theme, associate each lettered sentence with
a number associated with one of the sets of elements. The
coordinates can be computed with the formulas below.
