This cache was placed in honor of me and exodus198's 7th anniversary. We decided to vacation in Maggie Valley, and we enjoyed some high altitude caching with some breathtaking views and sights! We found this spot while out on a walk, and I knew right away that it would be the perfect spot for my next hide. This is a lovely green park by Jonathan Creek. It has a small walking trail and a picnic shelter. It's accessible from dawn to dusk.
To find the final coordinates, you will need to do a little research on Maggie Valley. Answers can be found with an easy internet search.
The final coordinates are N 35° 31.ABC W 083° 05.XYZ
The missing coordinates are as follows:
A: the number of stars of the flag of the state Maggie and her husband moved to
B: Maggie was born in 18_0.Fill in the blank.
C: The number of months before Mr. Setzer submitted his post office application MINUS 4
X: how old Maggie was when the town was established MINUS the number of letters in her married name
Y: how many miles Mr. Setzer had to ride to get mail for the valley
Z: the date (day) that Mr. Setzer got approval for the post office MINUS 1
Once you are at the final coordinates, it shouldn't be too hard to find. When you get within 30 feet, look in the obvious place. You won't have to climb (a tree) or bushwhack, but you will need to look good. Please place it back just as you found it. It was placed with some swag, appropriate for the occasion. Please keep the swag stocked if you take some.
