Geocache Description:


Welcome to Puzzle #14 in the Bristol County Puzzle Series!  The Series covers all of the towns in Bristol County MA. Yes, all 20.  The Series is broken up into 4 groups with 5 puzzles per group. The puzzles must be solved in order as each puzzle will give a clue that will allow you to solve the next one in that group.  Solve the 5 together in each group and earn the coords for the bonus cache.   Each bonus cache will provide a clue for the series final so pay attention when signing those logs! 

No special equipment is needed to log the individual caches, but if your goal is to find the bonus caches and the final cache in this series, you will need to bring a special "tool" with you to each of the caches.

Good luck and Happy Caching!  Now for your puzzle...
