Geocache Description:


I sure hope you like doing projections!

At the posted coordinates you will find a plaque. On the bottom portion of the plaque that says "Watch for these Shoreline species" there are three purple bubbles with names in them. Use the letters in the bubbles to determine the following:

A = The number of letters in the bubble on the left (ie "word" would be 4)

B = Sum of the numeric value of each letter in the middle bubble (ie "word" would be 23+15+18+4=60)

C = The number of letters in the bubble on the right (ie "word" would be 4)

D = (590.2 - B) + [10 * (A - C)] degrees

E = 118.4 + (B / 5) meters

Do a projection of D degrees and E meters from the posted coordinates to get the coordinates for the next stage.

The digital root of the 7 digits in north is 1 and the digital root of the 8 digits in the west is 6.

At the second stage you will find a plaque. From this plaque look at the bottom right corner. Use the words/letters in the blue rectangle to determine the following:

V = The number of letters in the first word in the rectangle (ie "word" would be 4)

W = Sum of the numeric value of each letter in the rectangle (ie "word" would be 23+15+18+4=60)

X = The number of letters in the in the last word in the rectangle (ie "word" would be 4)

Y = (W - 75.8) + [10 * (V - X)] degrees

Z = 139.2 + (W / 5) meters

Do a projection of Y degrees and Z meters from the second stage to get the final coordinates.

The digital root of the 7 digits in the north is 6 and the digital root of the 8 digits in the west is 5.
