Geocache Description:


This is also the location of Dry Hill 5. One icon may hide the other.

A simple mystery cache in the Dry Hill property with permission of The Trustees of Reservations (TTOR).

NOTE: There is little to no cell service in the area. Take precautionary measures to ensure you will be able to locate the cache.

At the posted coordinates you will find a signpost. On this signpost are three signs. You need to turn words into numbers. Turn the letters into numbers using their place in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, etc.). Add the numbers together and divide by 1000.

Start with the fourth word on the middle sign. Turn it into a number. Add the result to N42 08.267 to get the latitude.

Now use the fifth word on the middle sign. Turn it into a number. Add the result to W073 13.508 to get the longitude.

Example:

CACHE

3 + 1 + 3 + 8 + 5 = 20

20/1000 = .020

N42 08.239 + .020 = N42 08.259

The final is a short distance off the trail.

First To Find Fame goes to Tuco Rojo, Ms. Gwozdz, and gworol! GO TEAM!
