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.

 

Legion of Honor Medal

 

For her service at the Battle of Jena-Auerstadt, Jacky was awarded a Legion of Honor medal - rather unceremoniously, considering the prestige associated with such an honor.  

 

Puzzle:

Look at the image of Napoleon’s own version of the Legion of Honor medal and extravagant necklace to create an answer key and find your final coordinates:

 

 

a = Number of light blue banners

b = Number of “N”s

c = Number of gilt balls at the end of each light blue banner

d = Number of petals on flower in center of large gilt initial

e = Number of male faces

f = Groups of leaves curving around from above the crown to the top of the necklace

g = Letters in abbreviation for “Emperor”

h = Number of insects (complete, not cut off at edge of picture)

i =  Number of stars surrounded by a circle, showing in the necklace (complete, not cut off at edge of picture)

j = Number of french flags.

 

Final Coordinates are at :

N38 ga.ffb W90 ci.efc
