Geocache Description:


Whatsit!

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Solve the following puzzle to learn the true cache location.

 

This cache is part of The Atoz Sequence series.  Click here for more information.

 

The posted coordinates are half way between the cache and the Seaside Whatsit:

 

The Whatsit would be difficult to spot at high tide!

 

At lower tides, you can walk right to it, and beyond.

 

(But, please be cautious and use common sense!)

 

Click this Checker for a fuzzy (within 30 feet) verification.

 

Be sure to note the "Bonus info" in the Checker which will give you the exact coordinates!

 

Not part of the puzzle:  If you look around, you can deduce not only whatsit, but whatsitdo and whatsitfor!

 

(Or, use your smart phone)

 

More extra credit and not required:  Post a photo of your party at the Whatsit!

 

This puzzle is a reimagining of In Loving Memory, the first puzzle I solved and found on my own, and still a favorite due to its elegant simplicity.

 

Give my greetings to the Whatsit!

 

Don't forget to make a note of the clues on the cache log.  You will need them to solve The Atoz Sequence!
