KC Battleship
Welcome to KC Battleship. You're on the hunt for The Battleship.
This is one of 5 “Ship” caches hidden as part of the KC Battleship series. The cache is not hidden at the posted coordinates. In order to find the true coordinates you must first find 4 of the 100 Battleship “Grid” caches that indicate “hits” for the Battleship. Each hit will hold a piece of the coordinates for this cache. Once you have all hits, complete the coordinates as follows:
39.JK.JKJ / 094.LM.LML
Example: One hit will give you the numbers for J. The clue in the cache will appear like this: J=1, 2, 3. The 1 will go in the first place for J, 2 will go in the second. *Note: This is only an example. The hint may also be listed as 39.1K.2K3 / 094.LM.LML revealing the places the numbers actually go. Those are not necessarily the correct numbers for J. No other ship cache coordinates will use the same letters. The other ships and the number of hits for each are:
Patrol Boat = 2 Hits
Submarine = 3 Hits
Destroyer = 3 Hits
Battleship = 4 Hits
Carrier = 5 Hits
View the other Ship caches for details specific to those hides. They are named:
KC KC Battleship: Carrier GC35381
KC Battleship: Battleship GC35HVE
KC Battleship: Destroyer GC3607F
KC Battleship: Submarine GC366CK
KC Battleship: Patrol Boat GC35VKH
***Be sure to record the clue found in this cache as it is necessary to find the KC Battleship Final GC34YT4***
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!!!
The Battleship is not docked in the Missouri River. Do not go there. To find this cache you will need to follow the directions as they are given above. When you do have the complete final coordinates, you will enjoy a beautiful hike and you may see deer, turkey, fox, and other wildlife. Even though it may be close, DO NOT park in the nearby neighborhood to reach the cache, you will be trespassing on private property. There is a parking lot for this location, look at the map when you have the final coordinates. Enjoy.
