Geocache Description:

This is my 500th hide ... 494 of which are in Tuscaloosa County ... this one will offer a challenge to find ... the challenge is determining the coordinates ... the challenge was adapted from a game played with the scouts in the Troop where I served as scoutmaster.

The cache will not be found at the posted coordinates. These coordinates would take you to the entrance to Camp Horne, the Black Warrior Council's main camp. Do not go into the camp, as the cache is simply not there.

The great times I have shared at this place make it perfect for my 500th cache placement. At summer camp, one of the special times was the Mail Call ... a letter from home for a scout ... the attention of all the other scouts focused on a kid getting a letter from home or a birthday card or even a prank card from the other scouts in the troop that was heavily ladden with cheap perfume for laughs ... Mail Call was certainly a highlight each day ...

To determinte the coordinates for the Letterbox, you will need to study the attached photographs, and from the photographs deduce the correct coordinates.

I played this game with the scouts in the Troop for seveal years. It stumped most, all were suspicious, and a few were able to solve the puzzle. In each photograph, information is being communicated to you telling you the number to be used in the compliation of the coordinates.

The coordinates for the Letterbox final are:

33 11.ABC

87 24.DEF

"A" can be determined from photo 1.
"B" can be determined from photo 2.
"C" can be determined from photo 3.
"D" can be determined from photo 4.
"E" can be determined from photo 5.
"F" can be determined from photo 6.
