Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To determine the final location you must solve the following word ladder puzzle.

The object of a word ladder is to change one given word into another by altering one letter at a time and making a common uncapitalized English word at each step. No letters may be scrambled from one step to the next. For example, to change the word WARM to the word COOL in 5 steps, you could write WARM, WORM, WORK, CORK, COOK, and COOL.

To determine the final cache coordinates, you must complete the following five body part-related word ladders in the least number of steps:

1. HEAD to TOES

2. HAND to FOOT

3. NOSE to CHIN

4. HAIR to NECK

5. KNEE to SHIN

Once done, add up the total number of steps for the 5 ladders, square it to get "X", and use it in the following equation:

N46 39.(X - 369) W064 02.(X + 130)



The cache is nearby a Ducks Unlimited pond and waterfowl marsh. Choose your route carefully to remain dry.
