Geocache Description:


Welcome Polyglots!

This is now both a Mystery field puzzle and/or a solve-at-home-before-you-seek puzzle. We have added to the gallery the language legends from the actual site to help you match the 6 photos below (ABCDEF) with their corresponding languages to find the missing digits for the final. Use the hints if you get stuck.

If you decide to make this a field puzzle, then know that at the posted coords you will find that the City of Pullman has now (12/28/19) provided two very helpful "legends" that you can use to determine the "Language" associated with each of the "Welcome" messages below.

The final is located at N 46 43.ABC W 117 11.DEF
(Remember to bring a writing utensil to sign the log.)

If you would like to learn more about the special nature of this project, then here is a link to an article about the signage's history. "Welcome Article"
