Geocache Description:





A typical puzzle cache hide - solve the puzzle - get the coords - find the cache!

Hail to KEWAH! This geocaching team is headed to Texas soon and the cachers in the Miami Valley will miss them very much! Good Luck on your new job and your travels to the Lone Star State.

We met the K and the H of KEWAH on the hunt for the Marie Ault Trail multi Marie Ault Cache in August 2006. It is strange how geocaching friendships start just by chance while meeting at a cache.

From that point on it has been our pleasure to know Karl, Erica, Harlan And Willow thru our geocaching adventures. They have provided us as well as others in the area with many hours of head scratching puzzle solving, fun and laughter at events and on cache runs!

We will miss seeing the mad scientist and family at the many MVG events. His spam brains at Screaming Good Time events or his habernero brownies at the summer picnics are just a couple favorites.

Which, btw - leads to the puzzle. From the given FAKE coordinates we can assume the following: N39 and W 083. Now you will need to take the information given below to fill in the rest of the coordinates to find the cache.

The coordinates will be in the format :
N 39 AB.CDE
W 83 FG.HIJ

Now for the puzzle part:
A = Habanero
B = Red Savina
C = Carolina Reaper + Serrano
D = Carolina Reaper + Serrano
E = Red Savina

F = Habanero
G = Pequin
H = Bell Pepper
I = Bell Pepper
J = Komodo Dragon + Pequin

If you need more help I am sure Wilbur will put your tongue to the test!

The hide itself is your typical guardrail cache - with a spot to pull off the road very close to the cache site!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.



Puzzle was released as part of the April's Shower May Bring Puzzles Event.
