Geocache Description:


 

 

 

As of the posting of this cache, I have 2 other puzzles out there. But i get sad they don't get found that often. SO I thought I'd put a few caches out here that let cachers.....new and old....get some Blue QuestionMarks on the map without knowing advanced calculus or being able to convert all the capitals of Europe into planets then into roman numerals.

These should all be straight forward and just a little research may be needed to find the answers. Think of these as the puzzle icon equivelent of lamp skirt lifters cheeky.

There is a secondary reason I've decided to place these caches where I did. A good friend/fellow cacher of mine is always complaining to me that there are not enough caches on this side of town. He is currently working on his 366 calendar and is having a hard time finding ones within easy distance. Hopefully this little series helps him out.

The hides are all winter friendly-ish and should not take a crazy amount of searching (hopefullylaugh)

 

 

Puzzle #3

Find "Z" and convert it to a number. Replace that number in the coordinates:
