Geocache Description:


Congratulations to CinderTheDog who is the First to Find under the new listing!

The posted coordinates are not the actual geocache! You must solve the riddle to find the geocache!

This cache has been adopted from the original owners.

Geocache Craze! People from all over are coming to Southern Oregon to find hidden treasure. Six arrive in town, but had little luck finding caches, so they started their own businesses. Use the following clues to determine their full names (one first name was Ellen and one last name was Maloney), where they came from (one was from California), and the businesses they established (one was a restaurant).

1. The person who established the art studio, the person from Kentucky and Bob all arrived in Jackson County by plane. The person from Ohio the person who started a hair salon, and Peron all came by bus. (This clue is describing all six people.)

2. Meer, who established a grocery store, took a plane as far as Las Vegas, then met Francesca Ricardo and they traveled the rest of the way together.

3. Deb started a coffee shop.
4. The person from Utah started a hotel.
5. Caleb Wilson is from Colorado.
6. Alice and Burns arrived by plane.
7. The New Yorker’s business is next to Francesca’s.

The correct answers are paired with the correct coordinates:
a. Deb is from Kentucky = N 42 19.629
b. Maloney owns a restaurant = N 42 19.876
c. Hotel owner is from California = N 42 19.428
d. Francesca traveled with Alice = N 42 20.659

e. Ellen owns a hair salon = W 122 55.488
f. Bob’s last name is Meer = W 122 55.386
g. Peron is from New York = W 122 56.233
h. Francesca is from Ohio = W 122 55.757
