Geocache Description:


3 French Horns

Welcome to Day 3 of Cachemas 2013!  This is a mystery cache, and it uses the coordinate formula below along with the word find puzzle beneath that.  The way this works is fairly simple.  The word bank at the bottom contains words that might be found in the word find.  Your job is to determine which words actually are in the word find.  Those words that are not in the word find have your clues for the forumula below, which will lead you to the coordinates of the cache. 

For example, the word bank below might include the words "candle" and "tree".  The hypothetical hint for the word "candle" will be C=2 and tree will be C=1.  Let's say that you find "tree" in the word find.  That means that you will NOT use C=1.  Instead, you look for the word "candle" next.  You wind up NOT finding it in the word find.  So, you use C=2 in your formula.  Just so we're clear though -- that was just an example. (So don't automatically use C=2 in your formula!)

The location of the final for this puzzle is NOT open after sundown. Don't go in there, no matter how tempting it may be. Wait for sun up!
