Geocache Description:


****CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES****

On Turkey Day or any day of the year, treat yourself and give thanks after hiking this moderately difficult, hilly and scenic 2-mile loop trail.  This gem of a trail in Rockwoods Reservation called Turkey Ridge Trail is managed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, and has an elevation change of nearly 250 ft with some rocky terrain and switchbacks all on a well established trail.   

This is an easy 2-part multi.  At the posted coordinates you will see a 'landmark sign.'  Use data on that sign to solve for the final coordinates. 

N 38 33.ABC   W90 38.DEF

A = the number of letters in the red zone

B = the number of letters in the yellow zone PLUS the total number of colors on the semi-circle

C = the number of letters on the hat

D = the number of letters in the first word on the square sign

E = the number of shovels

F = the number of letters in the blue zone

 

Area Hours: Open sunrise to one-half hour after sunset daily! 

Permission to place granted by and permit on file with Mr Raenhard Wesselschmidt, Rockwoods Reservation.

 

CONGRATS ndchri2 on her first FTF ever!  Hope it was a lovely hike and happy Thanksgiving morning.
