Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the above listed coordinates.

You must first figure out the REAL coordinates to “Duchess of York”. The cache is within reach. Beware of muggles.

With all the hubbub of a Royal Wedding I figured why not put out a new cache in honor of the “Royals”. This cache is for the Duchess and specifically the Duchess of York.

The Duchess of York is the principal courtesy title held by the wife of the Duke of York. The title is gained with marriage alone and is forfeited upon divorce. Solve the following puzzle to find this little treasure.

N 38° 34.ABC
A = Joan Holland
B = Princess Frederica Charlotte of Prussia
C = Mary of Modena
Checksum ABC = 17


W 121° 18.DEF
D = Joan Holland
E = Anne de Mowbray
F = Princess Victoria Mary of Teck
Checksum DEF = 16


As always, enjoy.
