Geocache Description:

Those who know me, know I like good curry. This puzzle cache involves the names of actual spices used in curry dishes. The recipes are ficticious. The spices are real.

Congrats to Waambat and Flymason13 for the co-FTF!!!

The posted coordinates are not the actual cache location.

The actual location is:

N 40 43.(curry recipe #1) W 111 53.(curry recipe #2)

Curry recipe #1
3 parts each: mace, clove, ginger, fennel, saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, fenugreek, and black pepper
4 parts each: mustard, turmeric
6 parts cumin
and for the kick, 64 parts red pepper

Curry recipe #2
A much more tame mixture. Same as above, just leave out the red pepper

BYOP. Stealth necessary. Enjoy the puzzle, enjoy the cache, enjoy some curry!
