Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the listed coordinates. Cachers must determine the correct coordinates from the following story.

Sushilord asked Owl, “Have you been able to work more mysteries out?”

“Have I?”, replied Owl. “Raven and I tried your methods with Reel caches, but all of our attempts failed.”

“They can’t all be awful.”

“No,” sighed Owl. “But if I’ve ever regretted giving up maths... I have done a couple of Zytheran ciphers, but I’m sure it would require more physical ability than I have to find them. Although I liked the Wibble’s Muggle Deception Techniques, even that involved some hiking, so I have zero interest in rappelling down cliffs to find a cache. I also tried a Freddo cache, but my GPS doesn’t know north from east and we got lost. I’ll have to try a second time one day. Maybe when I’ve got more strength, re-energised or lost weight or I can be bothered to get off our couch.”

“You’re making excuses now! It wouldn’t be that hard!”

Owl admitted, “I guess so, if I could do some that wouldn’t be tougher than the GOTH’s 15th Anniversary cache. If I’ve been able to manage the Bladerunner cache, I suppose I should try the Shawshank Redemption.”

“There you go,” encouraged Sushilord. “Did you get my email last month re Eleven?”

“The Huurtle Sudoku? I’ve solved it, but it’s too far away.”

“Stop that negative thinking and give yourself some credit.” Sushilord was starting to get impatient. “How many unknowns have you found now?”

“Around twenty. I suppose they’re OK if they’re kept simple.”
