Back in the late 1970s, a group of young women met at the University of Georgia, in Athens, Georgia, USA, and formed a club. They enjoyed all sorts of outdoor adventures; the more extreme the better. They had 24 members, though they had planned to have more than double that amount. None of them had the same first name. Two of them liked to sing and did so with some lads; one of them had a brother, Ricky, who would co-write about the girls, and more famously, a crustacean. But I digress..
There are 2 parts. Obtain the coordinates from Part 1. You can check these with the built in geochecker. Find a "keyword" (number) for Part 2; you can check this with Certitude.
Part 1
Tina was relaxing with her favourite drink of coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and an orange-flavored liqueur. Suddenly there was a "ping" on her phone. She had just received the publication notices of some new geocaches. And not just any geocaches; underground ones. She phoned her friend Reba. “We must go and be the first to find them. Gather the girls”.
And so, the crew was formed. Louise was a bus driver, so she volunteered to drive them to the parking coordinates. They walked along to find the entrance, and then they were soon in a tunnel which was used during the war to transport ammunition to and from the disused quarry.
Mavis found the first cache. But then they got distracted; Louise noticed a small passage off to the left. Mavis shouted – “That’s not the way; the instructions say to keep going straight”. But she took no notice. The others followed her.
They found themselves in a small passage. Madge thought they should turn back, but Betty insisted they keep going; they might have discovered a hidden passage! After walking for about 20 minutes, they could not believe their eyes.
They came across a room, full of bombshells. “These must have been from the war, and were forgotten” exclaimed Louise. Louise walked over and picked one up. “No!” shouted Effie. But it was too late. They could hear ticking……
They ran as fast as they could and got out safely, but moments later, there was a big explosion.
Can you name them?
Part 2
Important, needed to open the cache What is the number Tina found in the toilets? You can put the full number (without punctuation) into Certitude to check you are correct. At the cache you need only the first 4 digits.
Please take note of how the cache is secured before unlocking, and re-lock as found.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
