Geocache Description:

A little puzzle here to maybe take geocachers back to days gone by.  As kids we could sit around and work on these little puzzles for hours. The cache is not at the listed coordinates.  Solving the puzzle described below will reveal the true coords for the geocache location.

 


Helpful materials:

A good Washington state map

Straightedge

Pencil (you  may need to do a little erasing)

Long ago as kids geocachers may have completed many puzzles like this.​  Bust out your map and don't forget to make your connections!  (Google can be your friend.) The coordinates for the mystery cache final are:

N 47 1A.BCD  W 119 21.EFG

A = Raymond > Mt. Rainier summit

B = St. John > Farmington > Colfax > Moscow, ID > Colton > Pomeroy

C = Electric City > Mansfield > Withrow > Douglas > East Wenatchee > Crescent Bar > Quincy > Ephrata > Soap Lake > Lake Lenore Caves > Withrow

D = Cle Elum > Snoqualmie Pass > Skykomish > Cole's Corner > Leavenworth > Blewett Pass > Mineral Springs > South Cle Elum > Crystal Mountain > Rimrock > Naches > Ellensburg > Teanaway

F = Mt. Anderson summit > Lake Quinalt > Queets > mouth of the Hoh River > Forks > Fairholm > Hurricane Ridge > Mt. Anderson summit > Matlock > Brooklyn (bonus points to anyone  who has passed through Brooklyn!)

G = Moses Lake > Ritzville > Pasco

For each of the letters above, your connections must be made in order. If you make your connections correctly the numbers will be revealed!   Good luck and have fun!

 

 

Work with others solving the puzzle if you like, but please don't share the coords with others that haven't done the puzzle. Look on the side (S) away from the road.
