Geocache Description:

**  DO NOT GO TO THE LOCATION VISIBLE ON THE MAP  **

You must solve the puzzle for the container coordinates.


***CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!**

 

You won't need to read any of the books in the Jacky Faber series to solve the puzzles in this cache series. A simple search will answer all the questions, which are related to many of the factual places and events the author, L.A. Meyer, used.

 

Boston Common

 

When Jacky was torn from her friends and young true-love, she understandably cried inconsolably.  As her carriage passed Boston Common, the sight brought her a bit of peace, relaxation and hope.

 

Puzzle:  

Educate yourself about Boston Common to find your final coordinates:

Boston Common was founded in the year abcd.

It covers ef acres of Boston.

The malls accommodated the nation's first subway in 18i7.

The first piece of public art arrived on the common in 186g.

At the Soldiers and Sailors Monument dedication in 1877, h Confederate officers were in attendance.

 

The final coordinates are:  Ncg cb.fde

                                          Wif hg.agc

 

If you think you'd like Jacky's story, check out the library!  Both the print and audio versions are available to cardholders.
