Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES

This is a puzzle cache that will bringSMILES to your faces. The cache is located in a urban wooded area in Stittsville. It does involve heavy bushwacking, hence the terrain rating.


To get the cache coordinates please do the puzzle. I parked in the far left end of the church parking lot, then exited the parking lot and entered on a trail just beyond the mailboxes and the stop sign. The trail enters on the right.



Smiles are the way every person in the world can communicate with others, regardless of the language they speak. A smile can terrify you (Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" - "I'm Back") or melt your heart (the smile of a baby).

A few adjectives that describe smiles are:

SHEEPISH, HAPPY, SILLY, DEVILISH, CONFIDENT, PROUD, SEXY OR BASHFUL.

S = confident + devilish - sheepish
M = devilish + sheepish - bashful
I = confident - silly - sexy
L = bashful + proud + sexy
E = devilish + happy - silly
S = devilish + proud - sexy

Stealth may be required as some muggle pints are building a fort near by. This cache is winter friendly. Please rehide the cache well as, you guessed it, the muggle pints have big eyes.

In order to log this as a found, you have to smile at the next 10 people you pass in the halls/street/grocery store/bank .......so, if you are a hermit, it may be a while before you can claim this as found.

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