1942 World Series Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

IF YOU SOLVED THE PUZZLE BEFORE MAY 20, 2017 THE COORDINATES HAVE CHANGED

The cache is not at the posted coordinates!  It is part of the baseball geo-art series.  You must answer the question to arrive at the correct final coordinates


The baseball consists of 111 caches, one for each year the World Series was played.  These should be mostly park & grab caches along the New Hampshire-Maine border south of Conway and Fryeburg.

Besides geocaching, my next obsession is baseball.  I grew up on Long Island in New York and was a HUGE New York Mets fan.  I still am.  I was inspired to start planning this series when I thought they would be Champions again in 2015.  Maybe I'll get to add it to the art for 2016.  Being a Mets fan really builds character, as I'm sure Red Sox fans know (Bill Buckner is still a hero in my book).

Most of the caches are winter friendly placement. However, parking will be an issue once it snows, and several of the roads are not maintained for winter use. I do not recommend the series in the winter unless you are using snowshoes or cross-country skis. Also, Foss Mountain Road will be difficult to impossible to navigate without an AWD vehicle. You might choose to hike it, especially between Porter Rd. and Willis Bean Rd.


In 1942, who won the World Series

New York Yankees - 750
