Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!

 

To find the cache, you will need to solve a puzzle based on photographs taken in This Is The Place Heritage Park in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

Start at the listed coordinates.  This is the entrance to Heritage Village.  An admission fee is required.

 

The photographs below were taken on four different streets in Heritage Village.  This is a very enjoyable, scenic and historic walking area.  You will feel as though you have traveled backward in time.

 

Your goal will be to locate the site each photo was taken from.  Near each site you will find a historical marker describing the location.  Each marker contains a number used in a self-guided walking tour.  Write the number from the marker nearest the site in the blank provided for each photograph.  When you have filled in all the blanks, you will be able to turn the numbers into the coordinates of the cache.

Photo 9      Marker Number _____

 

Photo 10      Marker Number _____

 

 

Once you have filled in all the blanks, build the coordinates for the cache as follows:

 

Subtract the sum of the first 5 numbers from 5,185 to get ABCD.

 

Subtract the sum of the last 5 numbers from 8,968 to get EFGH.

 

The cache is at:

 

N 40 4A.BCD

 

W 111 4E.FGH

 

If you have trouble finding a photo site, check the hint which will tell you which street each was taken on.

 

The cache is a match tube.  You can find it year-round, even in snowy conditions.

 

If you need some help, send me an email and I will be glad to assist.
