GEOHEART # 8 HEART Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Inuksuuk: We are still in love and the love story continues. We loved this GeoArt, but it has been almost 10 years and we decided to archive the geocaching series. We have tones of photos, screenshots of the series and even some of the original logbooks after collecting up the containers today. Thanks for visiting!

Geocache Description:

WELCOME TO INUKSUK AND TERRYER's GEOHEART GEOART

This is a mystery cache. The container is NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. To find the cache, you need to solve this word puzzle.


How Many Words Can you Make from the Word :  Heart?

Rules : Recombine only the 5 letters : “h e a r t"  to make new words. Make only words with 3 or more letters. You cannot use a letter twice. The letters can be mixed in any order. You cannot use acronyms, short forms, Proper Nouns/Names, abbreviations, or contractions. I am giving you all the obscure words for free.  A “hart” is a deer. "Rathe" describes ripening vegetables in a field. You can't count “eh” (even though it IS A WORD) because you are not including any words with only one or two letters. They must have 3 or 4 or 5 letters. When you make your final counts, include the free words I'm giving you in your totals. So... how many new words can you make that start with the following letters……

H   =    hater,   hart,   haet , hae , het          

E   =     eath , eta , eth , era

A   =   

R   = rathe , rath , rhea , rah , ret

T   = tahr , tare , thae , tae

Helpful Clue :   You can make 12 new words starting with one of the letters, 7 new words starting with two other letters, 8 with another, and 3 with another.


Take the total number of new words that start with  “H”   and divide by 6

To the total number of new words that start with  “E”   multiply by one

From the total number of new words that start with  “A”   subtract 3

Take the total number of new words that start with  “R”   and add one 

From the total number of new words that start with  “T”   subtract one

Terryer and Inuksuk met at an FTF at GZ and then hiked a trail to a geocache called, "Valentine's POTM by ComedyAddict". On our first Valentine's Day together, after getting married at Christmas time, we created this GEOHEART GEOART and hid the caches in minus 25 degree Celsius weather. Some of the mystery cache finals are quick roadside grabs. Others are on a snowmobile/hiking trail that borders a Wildlife Conservation Area. Good luck and have fun !


Please note that the container is on a snowmobile trail that is also used by ATV's. We ask that you do not drive to the caches on the trail. Park at the south end, at GeoHeart # 6 or the north end of the trail and walk/bike/snowshoe/ski to the cache.
