Have you ever wanted to see your finds turn into a giant Smiley?
Well, here is your chance.
This Is the new Oregons Largest Smiley. The smiley is located just off of China Hat Road. This cache series was the dream of Norman (team triple threat) which he modeled after one by Rhino (GC1JEWR) and with the help of lost-a-pair they placed all the caches and got it up and running. So as a memorial to Norman who passed away last November (2020) and was one of our beloved fellow geocachers I am redoing this series for future cachers to enjoy as Norman watches over the smiley with a big smile.
This is a Series of 24 puzzle caches and 1 bonus cache. You must solve trivia, puzzles and codes to get the physical coordinates (the cache is NOT at the posted cordinates). All the puzzles can be worked at your leisure while sitting at home. All of the caches are log only except for the bonus so don’t forget to bring a writing stick. The Caches are close to the 1820 road. Any questions or problems please feel free to message me.
Don't forget to read the Oregon's Largest Smiley Bonus page (GC9E8YE) for all the info needed to find the bonus BEFORE heading out to find the caches. Make sure to bring paper and a pencil to keep track of the bonus numbers. Also about 20' to the North East I saw a lava tube.
To get to the Smiley head South on the China Hat road from Bend and turn west on the 1820 rd. by GC9E9GB Turn here for a Big smiley, and it will take you to the smiley. The road has a couple rough spots but I made it just fine with our mini-van.
Now on to the puzzle:
