Solve the easy puzzle to find out where it really is
People are always asking me saying, "Wadazi, what the heck is the hour of the pearl you're always writing about in your stupid cache logs, huh?"
And I always tell them to get bent. But now I'll tell you what it is. One of my favorite books is Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. In it he talks about the early morning after the streetlights go out but before the sun comes up. "The interval between day and night when time stops and examines itself". This is the hour of the pearl.
Somehow I always end up hiking in the evening, during this gray period after the sun goes down but it's still light out. It's one of my favorite times. Tonight was no exception. I hiked to a bunch of caches and then hiked a little further to place this one.I wanted to find a spot with great views. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. You'll need a flashlight to get home if you hike it when I did. Now for the EASY puzzle.
1) Take the first seven prime numbers. Add them together. Multiply it by 10. This gives you "A"
2) How many horsemen of the Apocalypse are there? This is "B"
3) How many beans is too many for Irish Bean Soup? This is "C"
That's it. Were you expecting more? The cache is at N 41° 10.A W 111° 5B.C
