THE PUZZLE - Field Puzzle

  A field puzzle is usually a puzzle that can NOT be solved at home. You can usually figure out if it is a field puzzle because the CO will use a field puzzle attribute.

  A field puzzle can be different types. Could be:

  1. a gadget cache where you have to solve the puzzle at or near the final coordinates to get into and/or find the container; or

  2. go to a location to answer question(s) and then go to final coordinates. This type could have several areas you would need to go to to get your information.

  This field puzzle will use the second method. With one area to get your information.

GO TO N 35 39.515 W 79 26.895 FOR YOUR INFORMATION. (under shelter)


  Final coords = N 35 AB.CDE W 79 26.890

  PICTURE = "VIEW AT MT. VERNON SPRINGS, N. C." (Use for answers A, B, C & D)

    A = 1st letter of what the goat is pulling.

    B = 2nd number in the year the building burnt.

    C = 7th letter in the 1st word. (under title of picture)

    D = 1st letter of old building in picture.

  PICTURE = "_ _ _ _ _ AT MT. VERNON" (Use for answer E)

    E = 4th letter in the name of the building that was at MT. VERNON
