Geocache Description:

Perfection is irrational, and needs to be sorted out.

This mystery cache is not located at the above coordinates, which will lead you to a field.

Please park your car at the side of the road, and follow the local traffic rules. Take a little walk and enjoy the scenery.

No tools and no force is needed for this cache. Just common sense.



My grandfather on fathers side was truly a strange man. He was always searching for perfection. Just like people over the ages his search had led him all over the world, and he used several methods to determine what would be perfect.

Just before he died in december, in a rage of anger, he burned all his research in his backyard and exclaimed that he had gotten nowhere!

After he had died, I received an otherwise empty little wooden box as my inheritance. In this box there was nothing but a scroll and a watch. The notary told me that my grandfather was sure that I could decipher the riddle and find the source of perfection. He also let me know to start with the box.


Below is what I received. Can you make sense of it?


J’y ay, de mon invention puis-je dire, amené l’artifice de faire dependre toutes les lettres l’une de l’autre, ainsi que par enchaisnement, ou liaison de maçonnerie
