Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle so the posted co-ordinates are random – they have nothing to do with the placement of the cache. A = 4 B = 1 C = 0 D = 5 F = 9 G = 8

"One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" is a 1960 children's book by Dr Seuss.

The book was the basis of a theme park attraction. The attraction has riders enter vehicles based on various colored fish from the book, and they must follow directions given on the ride to avoid getting wet. However, on days when it is too cold, the ride will operate without the water.

The book has been parodied often – one episode of Simpsons was called "One Fish, Two Fish, Blow Fish, Blue Fish".

Many aquariums have brightly coloured, usually tropical, fish. In fact an article in the National Geographic in May 2005 was titled "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Why are Coral Reefs so Colorful?"

There are some lovely photos of fish on the net – which is much nicer for the fish than being in a net. Mrs SoBad is especially fond of the red ones – but others are also attractive.

We hope you enjoyed the pictures.

And if you solve the puzzle you will also enjoy getting a smiley in the stats. Bring a pen and tweezers will be helpful. Please no spoilers in your logs.

The cache is at South 41 1 A .B C D East 173 1 F.B B G
