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.

 

Ocean to Gulf

 

Jacky and her companions fled Boston and followed her instinct to find water transportation.  The unpredictable currents and snags of rivers would prove much different from the big, wide ocean.  The culture in their many ports was sometimes quite a surprise as well.

 

Puzzle:

Travelling from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico (via the Allegheny to the Ohio to the Mississippi River), sort these cities into the order in which they would have reached them, to find your final coordinates.  (Hint: You’ll need a 0.)

 

Pittsburgh, PA

St.Louis, MO

Kennerdell, PA

Cave-In-Rock, IL

New Orleans, LA

East Hickory, PA

Cairo, IL

Cinncinati, OH

Natchez, MS

Kittaning, PA

 

 

Final coordinates are at:

N38 .   

W90    .
