Geocache Description:


Beach Courtyards

A Cache in the Beach Admiral Series

 

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!

Please solve the following puzzle to find the cache.

 

Cannon Beach city center is brimming with quaint courtyards, squares and alleyways.  This photo puzzle will introduce you to them (or bring you back for another visit).  The hardest part of the puzzle may be avoiding overindulgence in the vast array of fine food and drink available on your walk!

 

Start at the posted coordinates which will take you to the courtyard of Coaster Theatre.  Explore the courtyard and match what you see to one of the photos below.  The photos are in a random order.

 

Continue walking north for two blocks along the west side of Hemlock Street until the road bends to the east at 3rd Street.  Watch for the following courtyards, in the order listed, along the way.  At each one match what you see to one of the photos:

 

Coaster Theatre ____

 

Sandpiper Square ____

 

The Landing ____

 

Coaster Village ____

 

Mini park at the NW end ____

 

Each photo has a number above it.  As you match a photo, write its number in the blank following the location where you found it in the list above.

 

At 3rd Street (where the road bends east), cross Hemlock and return, walking south along the east side of the street.  Watch for six more courtyards, listed below in order, and match each to a photo:

 

Alley/yard north of Fetch (formerly Puppy Love) ____

 

Courtyard with a glass ball near Seasons and Distillery ____

 

Garret Sea Court ____

 

Village Centre ____

 

The Courtyard ____

 

Library ____

 

Ready for a short walk to the cache (and to work off all that food and drink)?  Add the numbers for the first five sites above (west side courtyards) to get XXX.

 

Add the numbers for the last six sites (east side courtyards) to get YYY.

 

The cache is at:

 

N 45 53.XXX

 

W 123 57.YYY
