For this cache, my brother and I wanted to create a cool multi that
captured our love of baseball and its history. This is a 3-stopper
around the greater Heights area inside the loop. These spots are
kind of outside walking distance (at least in the summer), but you
could do it on a bike, although driving between them would be
easiest. At each of the first two locations, you will be looking
for numbers, which will then be used to look up baseball trivia and
give you the coordinates of the next location. The final cache is
an Eclipse mint box.
Opening Coordinates:
N29° 47.590’ W95° 21.943’
At this location you will find a number. You should then look up
who the first baseball player to have 10 career seasons with ____
hits was. Then look up this player’s jersey number.
The second location can be found by:
(Player’s Number) x 5 + 9 = ?? Then insert this number
into the coordinate: N29° 4_._90’
(Player’s Number) x 2 = ?? Then insert this number into the
coordinate: W95° 2_._55’
Go to this location, again, you are looking for more numbers.
Once you have these two sets of numbers, you will be creating a
4-digit number. Let’s call the number ABCD. A= the first
digit of the numbers you have found, B= the last digit of the
numbers you have found. CD = the sum of all of the individual
digits minus 9. When you have your 4-digit number, find out what
player made this number significant as a baseball stat, and then
what that player’s jersey number was.
With this information, the final cache location can be found
by:
Insert the player’s number into the coordinate: N29°
46.7_1’
(Player’s Number) x 3 + 5 = ?? Then insert this number into
the coordinate: W95° 2_._46’
Now you have the location of the final cache. Again, the cache
is an Eclipse mint container. FTF will find a prize relating to the
theme of this cache, get there before Sept. 3rd to make best use of
it!
