Geocache Description:

Solve the puzzle in the Description and then follow one of the area's maintained hike and bike paths and look for a Grasshopper-style container in a 2-inch diameter Holly tree.

Please Note: The cache is not placed at the listed coordinates.


Please solve the puzzle by substituting numbers that align with the proper choice of words for the missing digits in the coordinates for the final where; N 30 11.6XY W095 29.12Z

where X = 1 if the missing word in the first line of the poem is mountain, or X = 3 if the missing word is hill, or X = 6 if the word is trail

where Y = 1 if the miising word in the second line is rocks, or Y = 3 if the missing word is water, or Y = 6 if the word is milk

and where Z = 2 if the missing word is crown, or Z = 6 if the missing word is leg, or Z = 9 if the missing word is arm.

Please do not attempt this one at night as the local law enforcement agencies may not appreciate a violation of the Park's visitation hours of Dawn to Dusk.

Dedicated parking is listed as a waypoint. The difficulty is based upon the simplicity of the puzzle while the terrain is adjusted for the length of the hike and a bit of bushwhacking.
