Geocache Description:


Do Love:              Alphabet Soup … at least as a kid

Don’t Love:         Powertrain geocaches alongside a busy, 4-lane highway where cars are whizzing by you as you try to                                             grab a cache every 0.1 to 0.2 of a mile

Do Love:              A series of caches hidden throughout small towns, their parks and the country roads of a somewhat  rural county

Don’t Love:         Caches with muggles in every direction

Do Love:              Having a safe place to park

 

So guess what I’m doing!!  This will be a series of 16 caches.  The caches may be goofy … funny … zany … silly … or very, very serious!!   Hints may be in the titles … maybe not!!!   Fifteen traditional caches (A through O) have been hidden throughout Walton County.  Each will contain a code.  Use the code to calculate the correct coordinates for this final mystery cache.  The coordinates above are bogus.  You will be searching for a plastic, water-tight ammo box.    Feel free to leave SWAG or travel bugs as you wish.  Only pick up items if you leave something to swap or if you plan to place the travel bug in another cache.

 

Solve for this:

 

N              AB  CD.EFG

W           HIJ   KL.MNO     

 

The difficulty for this cache does NOT refer to this particular hide but rather to the fact that you have to find 15 other caches before you can search for this one!!  There is plenty of parking in the general vicinity of Ground Zero.  You will find some old fashioned SWAG for the kids in the ammo can.  ALSO … There are prizes for FTF, STF and TTF!!  And these prizes will be valued by / useful for all geocachers!!
