This is a piece of Wrath of the Fire Chicken puzzle cache. To defeat the Fire Chicken you must arm yourself from six Geo Warrior’s Armories and enlist the aid of two Navigators. All the pieces are spread through out Central Oregon, from La Pine to Redmond to Sisters. Can you find them all?
(All long descriptions are fictional)
The master blacksmiths of Improved Order of Red Men have created the Red Helmet. You will need the helmet to protect your head from the fiery blows of the barbecue chicken, but of coarse, they have hidden it and will only reveal its cache to a worthy warrior. To prove your worth and find the Helmet, first you will have to find the Rock of the Improved Order of Red Men. Then you will have to find the North and West Keys to unlock the helmet from its cache.
To find the Rock, you will need to answer these questions. (For help use the link to the Related Web Page.)

The Rock of the Improved Order of Red Men - N 43*DA.EAB; W 121*BF.DCF

Once you are at the Rock, use the Red Men to find out where the Lady Who Holds The Key is resting. The Lady holds one half of the key needed to unlock the Red Helmet.
Lady Who Holds The Key - N 43*40.(year donated – 1490); W 121*27.(# of days past in the year + 254)
Now that you have found the Lady, you will have to coax her into revealing the hiding place of her key.
West Key - N 43*40.(first+1)(middle)(last-4); W 121*27.(year-1334)
To find the North Key you will need to find George and Joanne Herbert at the Angels Obelisk. The problem with finding the Herbert's: they are never in the same place twice. They have been blessed by the angels with a nomadic obelisk that relocates itself at dawn every morning. So, to find them you will have to go back to the Rock and search the old fashioned way. Open your eyes and your mind and let your feet walk the way. Once you are at rest with the Herberts, you will have to use their poem to decipher the code and find the hiding place for the North Key.
North Key - N 43*40.ABC; W 121*27.XYZ
A – S3L1W2, B – S1L2W5, C – S2L5W2
X – S3L4W3, Y – S1L4W2, Z - S2L4W2
Now you have the North and the West Keys. Use them together to find the final cache and unlock the Red Helmet.
Side Note...
I seem to have a lot of trouble in this area for getting good accuracy with my DeLorme PN-60 GPSr. I rarely get better than 20' of accuracy anywhere around this graveyard and in some places I got no fix at all. So, I'd like to say sorry for some bad coord's. I don't know why it is, normally I get really good accuracy even in sever weather, usually no worse than 10', but not here even on a calm and sunny day. I have been back to this site on four different occasions and it is always the same way. I am a little curious as to what some of your accuracy readings are in the area. If you could post what you get on average, it would be appreciated and what GPSr you own.
Thanks, The Capt'n
