Geocache Description:


Cache is NOT at posted coordinates!

Not all the caches in this series are available. Thus finding this final mystery cache is a little harder... or easier... you decide. Use the hint for the puzzle answer.

NOTE -- IMPORTANT! -- There is little to no cell service along much of this trail. Please come prepared with some other plan to check hints and coordinates, etc.

This is the final bonus cache for those who have found all 30 traditional caches in the Larks Lake Cache Trail. In order to solve this puzzle you will need the letter clues found on or in the containers of all 30 LLCT caches. You cannot solve this puzzle without all 30 letter clues. 

When you have all 30 letters follow these directions step-by-step to find the coordinates to the final cache:

Step 1 - Assign numerical values to each of the letter clues such that A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on. 

Step 2 - Add the numerical values of your 30 letter clues. You should have a 3 digit number after adding. Call this number "X"

Step 3 - Count the number of traditional vowels you had in the 30 letter clues and subtract 1. Call this number "Y"

Step 4 - Divide X by Y. You should have a smaller 3 digit number. Call this number "Z"

Step 5 - Add the digits of Z together to get a single digit number. This number is your answer. 

If your answer is 4 proceed to these coords: N 45* 33.011   W 084* 56.694

If your answer is 5 proceed to these coords: N 45* 33.084   W 084* 56.719

If your answer is 6 proceed to these coords: N 45* 32.977   W 084* 56.651

Final cache is regular sized plastic container filled with kids toys and FTF gift certificate. As with this entire series, please BYOP.  Have fun and safe caching!

Congrats to Mongos Posse for a quick FTF on this and the whole Larks Lake Cache Trail!
