UPDATE 2/7/2022: This puzzle may no longer be solvable as intended. The "related link" does go to a wikipedia archive of an article about the Altoona Curve, but the included roster does not seem to match the puzzle. If anyone wants the actual coordinates, or if anyone finds a better resource to include for use with the original puzzle, feel free to contact me through the geoaching website (email link or geo-messenger). Further, the fake "?" coordinates on the map will be moved off the field to avoid crowing this are of the map with "?" icons that can be hard to pick out when the map is zoomed out. I am working on updating the description to make the puzzle work better in the future. Thanks!
The coordinates will be in the form:
N 40 A . (B + C + D + E + F + G + H) / W 078 I . 0 J
| A = Alex McRae |
F = J. T. Brubaker |
| B = Sean Keselica |
G = Mitch Keller |
| C = Cole Tucker |
H = Wyatt Mathisen |
| D = Elvis Escobar |
I = Tanner Anderson |
| E = Michael Suchy |
J = Luis Heredia |
Congratulations to the entire team! (... including all the players not listed in this puzzle)
This was a good way to close out the 19th season of Altoona baseball. There is a lot to look forward to for the big 20th season next summer!
