KC Battleship
Welcome to KC Battleship. This is one of 100 battleship grid caches hidden as part of the KC Battleship series. The grid is 10x10 and the squares are labeled A1 through J10.
The objective is just like the game of Battleship; discover the locations of ships by finding caches in the grid that indicate “hits”. Each hit will contain pieces of the coordinates to one of 5 ship caches published separately. Each of those 5 ship caches will hold the clues to the "KC Battleship Final" (GC34YT4). This cache is also published separately. The 5 ships and the number of hits for each are as follows:
Patrol Boat = 2 Hits
Submarine = 3 Hits
Destroyer = 3 Hits
Battleship = 4 Hits
Carrier = 5 hits
Grid caches that indicate hits will provide clues as in this example: HIT: N = 6, 1. Remember to record those clues as they are necessary to find the 5 ship mystery caches. View those cache pages for more information. They are named:
KC Battleship: Carrier GC35381
KC Battleship: Battleship GC35HVE
KC Battleship: Destroyer GC3607F
KC Battleship: Submarine GC366CK
KC Battleship: Patrol Boat GC35VKH
You Sank My Battleship!!!
Saving and printing the map image above will help you keep track of completed squares and found hits. Just as in Battleship, when you’ve found a hit, you know another must be in one of the squares to the left, right, above or below.
***PLEASE READ*** A lot of time, planning and effort by several of your fellow geocachers has gone into making this set of 100+ caches a reality. PLEASE do not post any spoiler photos or logs that would give a clue to a hit or miss. If you do, you will be contacted and asked to edit your log. Also sharing information with other cachers or asking for it is discouraged, so we ask that you please don't. Besides it's obvious when someone has taken shortcuts. Keep the fun in the game but most of all have fun!!!
Permission to place this cache has been granted by the KCMO P&R in the Northland at Hodge Park. There is plenty of parking and from time to time the park will be busy so stealth may be required. Replace the cache as you found it and if any maintenance needs to be done please feel free to contact us.
***WARNING*** Hodge Park has a Managed Fall Archery Dear hunt every year. The wooded areas used for the hunt are clearly marked by white signs showing the park boundaries. The dates for the hunt are on a large sign as you enter the park. This year's dates are November 5 – November 30, 2012. For your own safety do not enter the park woods during that time frame. This cache however is in a safe place year round and this warning does not apply to it. It is not placed in a hunting area and nor will you cross any to get to it.
