No cache is worth upsetting those who live nearby so I am archiving it. Thanks to all who visited and I hope you enjoyed the puzzle. I will redistribute any remaining travel bugs.

Geocache Description:

You will only get your feet wet at the posted coordinates.  You're better off trying the water slides instead.  What a fun way to cool off!  Fun for sure, but I'm more interested in how it all works. They sure do have a lot of piping hidden away to make it all happen.  It left me scratching my head trying to figure out the plumbing.  Maybe you could help me.  


When the main valve is opened the flow meter will read 32 gpm.  At each "tee" the water will either split (dividing the flow by two) or combine (adding the flows together).  The outlet flow meters will read the final flows out each pipe (gauges A - F) , and guess what!  You can use these flow rates to find a cache....amazing!

N42° 24.ABC / W073° 15.DEF

Before checking your results remember that the sum of all the outlet flows will equal the input flow.


You can validate your puzzle solution and get parking coordinates with certitude.
