Promenade Days North: A Seaside, Oregon Photo Puzzle Cache
The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Please solve the puzzle below to find the actual cache location.
This is one of two easy puzzles which can be solved by walking the Seaside Promenade. The "Prom" (or "Boardwalk") is a 1.5 mile paved oceanfront walkway following the Seaside beach. In the middle of this walkway is the Turnaround, which is both a Lewis and Clark commemorative site as well as the western end of Broadway, the main drag of town.
This puzzle cache covers the north half of the Prom from the Turnaround to 12th Avenue, the northern end. Its partner, Promenade Days South, covers the southern half. Choose either one, or do both and see the entire Promenade.
Together, the two caches replace Mystery of the Seaside Prom, giving the many finders of that cache two more to enjoy.
Total walking distances for the caches are:
Promenade Days South: 1.85 miles
Promenade Days North: 1.65 miles
The walks are as pleasant as can be found anywhere and both are flat and feature beautiful scenery. Dogs are both welcome and plentiful!
Now for the puzzle:
Start your walk at the posted coordinates (the Turnaround) and walk north to the end of the Prom at 12th Avenue. Watch for the seven photos below. The photos are in a random order along your walk and should be easy to spot from the Prom. The puzzle is to get them in the right order from south to north. As you locate each site, note its order in the blank provided after the matching photo, starting with 1 and ending with 7. Once they are in order, the Coordinate Numbers following each blank will also be in the right order to complete the coordinates of the cache. Be sure to solve the puzzle and find the cache before starting back!

Sequence: ___ Coordinate Number: 3
Sequence: ___ Coordinate Number: 0

Great! Now, build the coordinates of the cache by replacing the Xs with the Coordinate Numbers above, in the same order as your Sequence numbers.
