The cache is not at the listed coordinates

This is a walking cache through the Downtown area of Port Orchard, Washington. Total walking distance will depend on the path you choose to take. To find the cache you will need to solve a puzzle based on photographs taken along the Port Orchard waterfront and Bay Street, between the waterfront park and the boat launch.

Start your tour and your goal will be to find each photograph below and record the digit of your GPSr as required under each picture.

Once you have answered the questions and filled out the blanks, you get to do a little math to build the coordinates for the final cache using the letters indicated as follows:


N 47° 3S.TUV W 122° 3W.XYZ

Enjoy the math:

S = G - R

T = H + E

U = L - D

V = B + K + N

W = P x A

X = C - F

Y = M x A

Z = J - K

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

The cache has only room for a log, so bring your own pen. The Hide is one of your favorite caches to seek. Yes, it is a NANO. We hope the scenery you encountered and the nice stroll through downtown is a reward in itself. Have Fun and enjoy our little town.
