Geocache Description:

This cache was originally part of the 2014 CNC Geotrail.




MANDATORY CACHE FOR THE GEOTRAIL

NO NIGHT CACHING BY REQUEST OF THE OWNER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. Stage one is a very popular must see location while in Cabell County. It has been featured on Food Network's TV show "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. You have permission to look around the premises, but there is no need to poke around much as you will just gather information here with your brain and eyes. Take a pen and paper to write your information down to solve for stage two (where the final is located). Follow the puzzle instructions below.


PUZZLE INSTRUCTIONS

The actual cache is located at N38 29.ABC W082 18.X6Z

To find this cache you will need to go to the posted coordinates. Once there you will need to look at your surroundings and find a few things.

To solve for ABC, go to the Coca-Cola machine and look around. On the tree with plates, find where Kentucky is on the northern border of Michigan. (West Virginia is North of both). The first two numbers of Kentucky are "AB" and the last number of Michigan is "C". This gives you ABC and put this in the North part of the coordinates.


To solve for XYZ, go to the Sugar Shack. Alaska is skinny-dipping with a snapping turtle and Alabama is on top of the world. The last number in Alaska is X. The number 6 is Y. The first number in Alabama is Z. This gives you XYZ and put this in the West part of the coordinates.



Special thanks to Clive and Juliana for hiding this cache.
