Geocache Description:


For the last few months (!) we have been inundated with new vocabulary and phrases regarding the covid-19 situation, to the point now where we may feel like it's overload.  So...

Why not take the new vocabulary which we have been necessarily force-fed and at least get a new smiley on our geocaching map for it!

This geocache is hidden at:

N 47 3A.BCD   W052 4E.FGH

Where A through to H are determined by first solving this word search below of "serious" covid-19 terms, and then doing a little math depending upon the placement of certain letters which you have found.

= Down "D" in "PANDEMIC" + Across "R" in "CLUSTER"

= Across "G" in "TESTING" - Across "W" in "HOMEWORK"

= Across "S" in "MASK" + Across "Z" in "SANITIZE"

= Down "B" in "CURBSIDE" + Down "O" in "CONTACT FREE"

= Down "I" in "VIRTUAL" - Down "Z" in "ZOOM"

= Across "O" in "ONLINE" + Down "A" in "SELF CARE"

= Across "C" in "LOCAL" + Across "Y" in "DELIVERY"

= Across "U" in "BUBBLE" - Across "D" in "WASH HANDS"

Got it solved?  Put your coords into the checker, and off you go!  laugh
