Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT


A small lock & lock in a nearby SGL (use appropriate caution during hunting season). Side of the road parking near GZ. Cache is right off the hunting trail. Although the cache is available anytime you may need daylight to answer the questions.

Be prepared to be WOWed! (by the sights not the cache)

CONGRATS to 4bms for their FTF!


WOW

WOW is not for the on-line game “World Of Warcraft” so relax. This is Wow like “Holy Cow” or “What the…” or "things that make you go hmmmm". I came across these two unusual spots while out running some back roads on the Killer Bee (geo-cycle). They are fairly close to each other too. The whole purpose for this cache is to show you these bizarre properties. Just answer some easy questions by driving there and making some observations. Then use the answers to locate the correct decimal coordinates for the WOW cache.

N 40° 18.424 W 076° 04.980
This property will have you scratching your head. The first waypoint is for a small roadside parking spot to allow you to stop and observe this place. No need to leave your car. You may have to drive by slowly a few times to answer the question.
North Question: The small pavilion on the higher area of this property covers:
a. metal rooster - .967
b. bikes made from huge gears - .977
c. civil war cannon - .987
d. steel flower arrangements - .997

Answer - N 40° 16.???

N 40° 18.535 W 076° 05.408
This property will also have you scratching your head. The second waypoint is for the entry to this property. Is it a house? Is it a church? This is quite an interesting building that I may try to research the history of... I am still not sure what it is… if you know you can put it in your log.
West Question: The “house" number of the property is:
a. two identical numbers – .248
b. three identical numbers – .258
c. two sequential numbers – .268
d. three sequential numbers – .278

Answer - W 076° 04.???

Hope you found these as interesting as I did... Answer both questions correctly and find that cache…
