I thought that Brockville could use a few puzzle caches, but in thinking about it, I know how anxious everybody gets when they see that "question mark" icon. This series is designed to help those who are a little reluctant to try a puzzle, give it a go. The various caches focus on differing methods of basic puzzle solving and will give one a starting point with their puzzle solving. The series basically amounts to a tutorial and all the caches are micro's. This cache is located on a snowmobile trail, not far from the road and along a fence line. So let's roll up our sleeves and get started. Before we getting started as with most puzzles, THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!
Morse Code
Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a skilled listener or observer without special equipment.
Each character (letter or numeral) is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. The duration of a dash is three times the duration of a dot. Each dot or dash is followed by a short silence, equal to the dot duration. The letters of a word are separated by a space equal to three dots (one dash), and two words are separated by a space equal to seven dots. The dot duration is the basic unit of time measurement in code transmission.
I've personally found a lot of caches that utilized Morse Code, some very simple and some quite complex. For the purposes of this puzzle though, we'll keep it simple. So here goes, good luck:
The cache is located at:
N ....-/....-/...--/-..../---../----./--...
W -----/--.../...../....-/...../---../...--/.----
As with all CZ caches, the hope here is that you have fun, be safe and perhaps learn something.
Cheers
