Geocache Description:


Well hubby and I have finally reached our 100th cache. So we are looking back at all the great places we have gone and great things we never would have done without you super cachers that hide.

So it is time to give some caches back to you. Some towns are a wonderland of caches; some not so much. So we decided to add some to this little town that does not have enough. Hope you enjoy and a big THANKS to all the cachers out there who have given hubby and I such fantastic memories. :-)

The location above is NOT the actual location to the cache!

Actual location is N 35 43.ABC W 79 39.DEF

So solve the puzzle and it will lead you to the CROSS with the cache:


"I can do all this through him who gives me strength."    Philippians a:bc

     A = Total of all three numbers. (a + b + c)


"Jesus answered, 'It is written: "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."    Matthew a:b

     B = Subtract the 2nd number from the 1st. (a - b)


"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another..."     John ab:cd

     C = Add 29 to ab to get ef, then subtract cd from ef. (29 + ab, then ef - cd)



"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."    Jeremiah ab:cd

     D = Add the two numbers together. Use 2nd number. (ab + cd, then use 2nd number)



"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."    John a:bc

     E = Add the two numbers together. Use 1st number. (a + bc, then use 1st number)



“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."   Luke ab:c

     F = Subtract 2nd number from 1st number. (ab - c)



Checkpoint totals for A+B+C = 16 and D+E+F = 3.


It should be a quick P & G, BUT it is rated a 4 for difficulty, because of the puzzle and because you should not be looking for it while folks are at the playground. The hours NOT to look are usually on Sundays 9:00am – noon and 6:00pm-8:30pm AND Wednesdays 7:00pm-8:30pm. There also may be other times, but they would be very few and far between.

The cache is not big enough for trade items. Bring your own pen to log this cache.

The location is WET, so please put it back exactly the way you found it, so others can enjoy.

Please be respectful of the property and the muggles while you are there.

11/02/12 Have replaced "The CROSS". Hopefully this one will not get wet like the last one did.
