On the Shores of Lake Maumelle 2
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The second in my series of caches around the shores of Lake Maumelle. This series of caches is intended to be challenging - these are no PNGs. They will all be a long hike from the nearest parking, and some of the puzzles to get the coordinates might be tough. But at least when you get to the GZ the find should be pretty easy.
The listed coordinates will not take you to the cache (the cache isn't in the middle of the lake).
You are looking for a camo-painted bison tube. Hidden overlooking the shore of Lake Maumelle about about 1.25 miles from the parking off Highway 10 for the Bufflehead Bay Trail (see waypoint). Log only, so please BYOP.
Terrain can be tough and it's quite a long hike.
Once you solve the puzzle and have the coordinates, the cache should be an easy find: the difficulty is for the puzzle, not the hide.
The real coordinates are:
N 34° 52.ABC
W 92° 34.DEF
Answer the following questions to complete the coordinates:
A - What is the number in the title of the first book in the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander?
B - How many books did the author of "Farmer Giles of Ham" write in 1974?
C - How many words in the title of the book that was the basis for the only Ridley Scott movie that Harrison Ford starred in?
D - This English author was also commissioned in the 1940s to re-illustrate Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark (amongst other well know classics by other authors). His new illustrations for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland were first published by The Continental Book Company/Zephyr Press in Sweden in 1946. (The author you're looking for is not John Tenniel who was the original published illustrator).
He is best know for a series of books named after the castle in which they are set. How many books are there in this series (do not include any book not written by the original author)?
E - The author of the books that provided the basis of the hit Showtime TV show about a sociopathic "bloodstain pattern analyst" for the Miami Metro Police Department is due to release the next book in the series about this character in October 2011. What number book is this in the series?
F - C. L. Dodgson wrote a famous book featuring a girl and a rabbit hole. Add up the digits in the year of his birth and subtract thirteen.
Please feel free to contact me if you'd like the coordinates confirmed before you head out.
NOTE: REMEMBER TO MAKE A NOTE OF THE FOUR NUMBERS MARKED W, X, Y AND Z AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LOG AS THESE WILL BE NEEDED TO FIND THE NEXT CACHE IN THIS SERIES.
