Geocache Description:

An easy, fun puzzle


The shell game is a classic puzzle involving movements of a coconut shell whereby you need to find a hidden ball.

Our shell game is a puzzle whereby you need to follow the directions below to find a medium container filled with seashells for trade.  It would be great if you could trade other shells or sea related items but do not fret, we will replenish with some awesome shells regularly. You will also notice that the stones used as our puzzle contain numerous fossilized shells.

The co-ordinates will take you to a spot directly in front of a wall of giant stones.  Following the directions below will guide you to the cache within the wall.  When following the directions make sure not to count each starting stone in your moves.......for instance, lets say a move has you land on a particular stone and the next direction asks for you to move 3 stones to the right..........the stone you start with is 0 and then you count right 1 stone, 2 stone, 3 stone......the 3 stone is now where you start your next direction.
