confusedcious: Alas, this was my first puzzle cache. I might resurrect it - or the series in another manner - elsewhere.

Until then, archiving. The site's no longer useable.

Geocache Description:


I was playing a game today - I used to play it at my grandmother's house. Placing the cards down, my starting arrangement was as follows:

Position 1: 3 Q 5 7
Position 2: 3 J 9 9
Position 3: 9 7 J 2
Position 4: 4 8 K 10
Position 5: 2 3 10 8
Position 6: 3 2 J A
Position 7: 8 5 4 K
Position 8: A J 10 6
Position 9: Q 6 4 K
Position 10: 5 A 8 2
Position 11: K 6 Q 9
Position 12: A 10 7 5
Position 13: 6 4 Q 7

After I finished the game I thought it was time to go outside - so I went and hid a cache. I observed the location could be written as S 34° DJ.LAD E 138° AD.ELG if the order in which my game resolved was used to describe it.

I also left a TB for the FTF

The cache is eclipse-sized and not particularly recommended for swaps, but small ones will fit...
