Geocache Description:


Please note that this geocache is a replacement for the original “Birds of a Feather” Mystery. The 6 clue caches remain the same but this final cache required a new GC code because the original was archived. 

Thank you to Team Jayme for allowing me to adopt the original 6 clue caches in Sadsbury Park in Gap and for the details to recreate this final cache.

The listed coordinates do not represent the location of the cache. This is a mystery cache located at a popular spot in Gap, PA. You are looking for a small lock’n’lock container with room for SWAG and trackables. Read description to find the physical coordinates.

N 039’ 59. ABC   W 075’ 59. DEF

Birds of a feather flock together! For this mystery you will need to visit all 6 stages of the GP series in Sadsbury Park. They are named after birds native to the area. Each number can be calculated from the color of the containers in the series. In order to avoid any confusion over colors, you will need to use 6 of the colors from this list only:

RED

WHITE

ORANGE

BLUE 

GREEN

PURPLE

YELLOW

SILVER

BLACK 

 

 

 

A = color of cache container for GP1:

                # of letters in the color -1 = A                                                      

B = color of cache container for GP2:

                Number of letters in the color +4 = B                                       

C= color of cache container for GP3:

                Number of letters in the color = C                                             

D= color of cache container for GP4:

                Number of letters in color -4 = D                                                

E= color of cache container for GP5:

                Number of letters in color -1 = E                                                

F= color of cache container for GP6:

                Number of letters in color - 5 = F                                            

Check sum for A + B + C + D + E + F = 22

Final coordinates are at N 039’ 59. ABC   W 075’ 59. DEF

 

This bird mascot would easily dominate any of the birds you’ve previously found in the series. Now take the average number of feathers for the bird named in GP#1 and multiply that by zero to calculate how many DNF’s you’ll need to log before finding the cache. It’s not that hard!
