Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, however this is a good place to start solving this puzzle. It is a bison tube. You will need to find the first 8 caches in this series and retrieve information from them to find the coordinates for this FINAL cache. Here is the formula for the actual coordinates:


N 43 Aa.BCD  W079 EF.GHh 

Aa – Take the first and last digit from the fact found in the lid of DVTS 8 (GC5JG5H ).This will be a two digit number

B – Take the letters for the colour of the bison tube from DVTS 1 (GC5JG39) and separately convert each of the letters to numeric values (e.g. A=1, Z=26). Add together the numbers you get for the first, third and the fourth letter THEN ADD 1. If the letters are A=1 and B=2, then your answer is 1+2=3  

C - Count the number of times the you see the number 3 in the fact taped to the lid of DVTS 3 (GC5JGQF )

D – Add together each of the digits you find taped to the lid of DVTS 7 (GC5JMKB) and subtract 1

E – Add together each of the digits you find taped to the lid of DVTS 4 (GC5JGR1)

F – Use the 6th digit you see on the engraved memorial on the floor of the altar near ground zero for DVTS 5 (GC5JGRR)

G – Divide the number found in DVTS 2 (GC5JG5H) by300

Hh - Add together EACH of the individual digits from the fact written in the log book cover of DVTS 6 (GC5JHKA) and add 4 to your answer. You will end up with a two digit number.

Difficutly rating reflects the amount of time & effort required to solve the puzzle, not the actual hide itself. Hide is a difficulty of 2.
