Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates,

but it is less than 40,000 Scrabble tiles away.


You do not need to go the listed coordinates. But from that point you would see to the north and to the south an area where many future Scrabble players might begin their rigourous training. (You may also find yourself in the middle of Alaska, and you can find much closer parking than that).

But if you are currently working on a challenge (either one day or long term) involving non-traditional cache types, and are looking for a quick and easy mystery cache to help satisfy a requirement, then this is the cache for you.


You need take just a few minutes here to dabble at Scrabble,
then go out and make a quick find, close to parking.

First rearange all 18 of the letters in Scrabble fashion to form words. All the words must spell out numbers.
When you have them laid out, you will call the highest number A, the next highest will be B, etc. (If you have five numbers the lowest number would be called E) Also note the number of points scored for each word. The number of points scored for the word that spells the highest number = Ap, etc.

The coordinates to the final cache are:
N41 BF.BEpDp W087 BE.EpAE

You can check your solution for accuracy and get an additional hint using GeoCheck.

I placed a travel bug in the original cache, "Just Married". I picked it up in Alaska.

To the FTF: Please take the FTF "trophy". I put it in a plastic baggie along with the cache.
