Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Instead, it's at N 38° 3A.BCD W 121° 4E.FGH.

This puzzle cache is about Heidi, perhaps the best-known work of Swiss literature. For a few folks out there, the cache may help them qualify for any number of first-name challenge caches. The coordinates for the final cache can be found by answering these questions.

A. Actor who starred in the title role in the 1937 film version (last letter of last name).
B. In the original story by Johanna Spyri, how old is Heidi when she is brought to her grandfather?
C. After moving in with her grandfather, Heidi makes a friend of the young goatherd--what is his name? (first letter -10)
D. Johanna Spyri, Heidi's author, was born in 18D7.

E. A TV movie version of Heidi is infamous for interrupting a dramatic American football game that was broadcast the same day in 196E.
F. The asteroid named after this famous book is known as 252F Heidi.
G. In Heidi, as well as in the sequel, Heidi Grows Up, the goats' names are given as Baerli and what? (first letter -10)
H. Heidi appears on a 50 franc commemorative Swiss coin issued during the 2000s. How many letters, in total, are on the obverse of the coin? What number is formed by removing two zeros from the year this coin was issued? The difference in the answers to these two questions is H.
