Geocache Description:


A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same in both directions. The word is derived from the Greek which means "running back again." Examples include LEVEL, RACECAR and for this cache WOW.

This cache is in a county park open from dawn to dusk. No night caching.

A very simple puzzle, but you'll need computer access. Posted coords are for good street parking.

The longest palindrome word is an Finnish word which with 19 letters means a dealer of lye or soapstone. Lye is used to make soap so a lye seller would sell lye to people who would use it to make soap. A google search should give you the answer which must be entered correctly into the checker in order to get the actual cache coordinates. So, spelling definitely counts!!!

When we started this project, we knew what a palindrome was. Digging deeper, we learned so much. We've hidden 8 caches for the week of Feb 21 when every day is a palindrome: 2-21-22, 2-22-22, 2-23-22, 2-24-22, 2-25-22, 2-26-22, 2-27-22 and 2-28-22. Some have some interesting info and some are just caches with palindrome names.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
