E4040CC#4 - Alphabet Soup Multi-Cache
E4040CC#4 - Alphabet Soup
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
COORDINATES ABOVE ARE NOT FOR THIS OR ANY OF THE 8 LEGS IN THIS SERIES. You
will have to do a little decrypticing in order to find the
coordinates for each cache. The EAST 4040 CRYPTIC CHALLENGE will
take you to some of my favorite spots. You will excercise, your
legs, lungs, and MIND to complete the task. Are YOU up to
it?
The above coordinates are just a good starting/reference point and
are within FIVE miles of the cache. Those coordinates do NOT figure
into the puzzle for finding the actual cache coordinates. Instead,
for each cache in E4040CC, you will need to add two factors to get
the CORRECT coordinates. In each case, one will be here on the web
page as shown below for Factor #1 and will always be a number of
minutes (portions of a degree) which will be added to Factor #2 to
come up with the final coordinates. Factor #2 will have to come
from clues and puzzles along the way.
For this 4th cache use:
Factor #1 +7.566' North & +2.125 West
Factor #2 for Alphabet Soup is found by adding the number of teeth
you found out the last cache to each of several incomplete
coordinates in your "Little Book of Clues". And then its really not
too hard to find this cache.
Container is a 5x8x12” black plastic lunch box.
The contents are:
Geocaching Notice
Log book and mechanical pencil in zip lock.
2 black spiders
26 letters A thru Z of various styles, wood, blocks, plastic etc
10 numerals 1 thru 0 of various styles
Try to keep the theme alive and the alphabet complete. Bring a
letter or number with you to trade for the same one of a different
style. For example trade "an i for an i and a 2 for a 2" etc etc.
:) Try to keep them on the small size (3” or less please). The
container has some room for content expansion but not much.
I'll bet by now, you are just loving letters aren't you?!
