Geocache Description:


I am placing a few simple puzzle caches to honor people I admire. Ben Kilham is an expert on black bear behavior. He has raised many orphaned cubs that have been released back into the wild.

Answer two questions to get the final coordinates:  

1. Ben had dyslexia as a young man. This made school very difficult for him and he gave up his dream of studying animal behavior and became a

 (492) jeweler  (105) farmer  (371) gunsmith  

2. Later in life he overcame his dyslexia and studied bears in his own way. He now travels around the world sharing his knowledge. Recently he has worked closely with scientists in which country, to reintroduce captive raised bears into the wild.

(483) China  (926) Canada  (750) Brazil  

Use the numbers linked to the correct answers to get the final coordinates:

N 43* 51.(answer to #1)  

W 070* 57.(answer to #2)
