Geocache Description:


***Cache is NOT at posted coordinates.***

***You must solve the puzzle to get the

FINAL COORDINATES.***

 

This is a Keyword puzzle.  For a keyword puzzle, go to the certitude link below and click it.  You will be taken to a Certitude page with a space to enter information.  Some puzzles require you to enter coordinates in the space, to confirm that you have figured out the answer correctly.  For a keyword puzzle, you will enter a word/words or numbers.  Sometimes you need to figure out what the cache owner was thinking (I dislike these --- just how well do I need to know you to be able to read your mind?!?).  For this one, however, I will tell you that there is a question on this page that you need to answer.  When you find the answer to the question, you will enter it in Certitude, and Certitude will congratulate you and give you the final coordinates for the cache hiding spot.

Go to the Posted Coordinates and you will find an interesting concrete bench with mosaic tiles.  Around the base of the bench are small broken chunks of granite with history of the area on them.  Find the one that contains information about a BUCKET BRIGADE on May 19.  What year was the HUDSON FIRE in which 64 businesses were lost and 25 families left homeless?  Enter the year in the Certitude checker.

If you have any problems, feel free to contact me through my name at the top of the page and tell me where you got stuck, or if you can't get the checker to work.
