Geocache Description:

As children we all learned the mnemonic ROY G BIV to remember the colors of the rainbow. In case it’s been a while, R=red, O=orange, Y=yellow, G=green, B=blue, I=indigo and V=violet.

This fun, multi/mystery cache will take you to seven stops along a route that follows Owens Creek. At the first seven stops you will find a micro cache container hidden in a typical roadside fashion. Within each container you will find a color on the ROY G BIV scale along with a number associated with that color. Plug in the numbers for each of the colors to find the final coordinates.

N 39° 3ROYG, W 077° 25.BIV


The final cache is a regular sized lock-n-lock style container. D/T for the first seven stages is 1 / 1.5, the final D/T is a 1.5 / 2.

Please do NOT leave any trackables, pathtags or swag in the seven puzzle containers. There is plenty of room in the final cache for those things.

The total distance from stop one to the final cache is less than three miles. At each stop there is a place to safely pull off the road. Please attempt this cache series from the SOUTH BOUND LANE ONLY. Although this isn't a super busy road, attempting to cross traffic could be hazardous to your well being.

This cache is available 24/7/365 but we would suggest looking for the final only during daylight hours.

FTF Prize is one of our brand new pathtags.
