In celebration of my first year anniversary of geocaching, The big epic puzzle star is my present to you.
There are two ways to find this cache.
The 1st way, is to research the whereabouts from my posted pictures.
Once you know where to go follow these instuctions:
first, start at this gate.
Next, Walk around the gate on the right side and walk up some steps until you come to this holy shrine.
Now, just before the holy shrine, you will see a path leading up to the left.
This path will take you all the way to the top.
If you arrive at the top, you have gone too far. So go back down a little and search at the base of this tree.
The 2nd way, and by far the harder way is to find the following caches and answer the question within.
Lair of the Hobgoblin which is the Earth element.
Outta Reach! which is the Air element
Fire! FIre! which is the Fire element
The Water Nymph Which is the Water element.
Inside each of those caches is a question. the Earth, Air and Fire will by a question requiring an answer that is a number.
The Water question is more complicated. The question asked you to name three things. Well, once you have the name of those three things you must put a number on each letter like this. A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4 and so on until Z=26. Now add up all the numbers to get a final number. (E.G. cat = 3,1,20 / so the final number is 3+1+20=24. Do this to all of those three things from the Water question and add them all up together to finally get the Water number.
SO NOW!
Do these sums.
A = (Air *Fire)
B = (water + 10)*10
C = A - B
X = C / 1000
Y = 1004 - (Earth*2)
FINALLY
The coords for The Elements are:
N 26 X E 127 43.Y
Sure hope you got all that.
