“Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea.”
-Mikhail Lermontov
Description: I've grown up on the banks of the French Broad, from my childhood years to the recent birth of my son, GeoAtlas21. I was surprised to discover there wasn't a cache at the GZ, and decided a mystery cache would be appropriate.
Puzzle: To find the cache you will need to use the following clues to fill in the coordinates.
N 35° AA.BBB W 083° CC.DDD
AA- Take the number of tributary rivers that join the French Broad in Tennessee and multiply by 14,
BBB- Take the length of the French Broad (in miles) and subtract 4.
CC- Take the last two digits of the elevation of the mouth of the French Broad (in feet) and add 20.
DDD- Take the year Douglas Dam opened and subtract 960.
Tools Needed: Pen, Internet Access.
SWAG: There is room for small SWAG in this container.
Maintenance: Please feel free to perform maintenance on the log if needed. If the container needs to be replaced, please submit a "Needs Maintenance" ticket or send me a message.
