Geocache Description:

A series of caches that will build to an A – Z of spices.

Brought to you by Jedika98 and Doctor Owl, This cache was placed with the assistance of Sister Raven and Eagle.


 


The cache is not at the listed coordinates, although you will find eateries that probably use this spice.

In order to find the cache you must prove that you have been paying attention to the caches in the Spice series. This will also be easier if you have been collecting the clues.

Assume A to I represent the numbers 1 to 9. For other letters add the digits together, so J is 10, which becomes 1 + 0 = 1. K would be 2 (1+1) and so on to S, which is 19 = 1+9 = 10 = 1+0 = 1. You should have the idea by now.

You are looking for the coordinates S35 0!.0@#  E138 $%.^&(

Where the number is created from the first letter in the cache name:

 ! = This herb is a bad pun hidden in a cemetery (Clue = S)

@ = A spice made from bark, hidden in bark and used by the Romans in wine (Clue = J)

# = A seed hidden in its namesake off a street of the same name (Clue = /)

$ = A herb related to parsley that is not Fennel (Clue = D)

% = A New Zealand spice that can be eaten or worn (Clue = Z)

^ = A valuable multi that is the source of two spices, but not two caches (Clue = Flower)

& = Mountain of joy with bad jokes about chickens and council workers (Clue = W)

(  = A white powdery spice hidden in a tree in a park (Clue = ?)

Sorry. No geodogs allowed at final GZ.

Update: The stump cammo is no more. Please add .004 to the south coordinates and minus .002 from the east.
