CHALLENGE!





Click to go to SCGA homepage

This is a fairly easy five step multi-cache located within a relatively small area. Each location is within easy walking distance of the other (total < ½ mile). Each of the first three steps requires you to obtain clues at the designated location in order to find the next until you search for the final cache which is a normal sized regular cache.

Stage 1

The coordinates posted are for the first stage. You are looking an object at the target location, which is held up by two supports. This object is identified with a tag. The first number found on that tag is __ __ __.

Fill in the blank spot in the west coordinate below with the first digit of this number

Fill in the blank spot in the north coordinate below with the total of the second digit of this number + the third digit of this number + 2.

Stage 2

N 34 08. 3__9

W 081 20.5__9

Locate the above coordinates and find the largest number (size wise), posted here - __ __.

Fill in the blank spot in the west coordinate below with the first digit of this number

Fill in the blank spot in the north coordinate below with the total of the second digit of this number + 2.

Stage 3

Stage 5

To locate the final stage and the real cache, access the track feature on your GPS. Navigate to the point that would be the intersection of the lines if you could draw a line from Stage 1 to Stage 2 and another from Stage 3 to Stage 4 forming an X and try to find the cache!
