The cache is NOT located at the above-mentioned coordinates, but rather at a distance of up to 3km.
La cache n'est PAS aux coordonnées ci-haut mentionnés mais à une distance d'au plus 3km
My favourite part of geocaching has been meeting other geocachers in person. This mystery invites you to get to know a little bit about these 8 local geocachers by doing a bit of research on each one of them.
Note: while all answers can be found online, the geocachers referred to in this puzzle have all agreed to participate and have selected the question that is asked about them. So don't be shy to say hi! They will all gladly offer you the answer to their question, if you ask them.
In the spirit of community and sharing, you may claim FTF/PAT if you:
- Sign the physical cache on the same day as the FTF (Sunday, July 17, 2016)
- or Sign the cache on the next day (Monday, July 18, 2016) if you are WITH ANOTHER GEOCACHER (who is not related to you.)
There are benefits to being social!
The final is located at: N45 (2 or 3)A.BCD W073 (4 or 5)E.FGH
