Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

To get the coordinates, you must figure out the solution to this prank.

On April Fool’s Day, a rascal at your favorite hole-in-the-wall diner replaces the salt in three of the four salt shakers with sugar and attaches a label to each one.

  • Label on salt shaker A – This is salt.
  • Label on salt shaker B – This is salt.
  • Label on salt shaker C – This is sugar.
  • Label on salt shaker D – The salt is not in B.

If only one of these labels is true, which salt shaker should you use to season your eggs?

To find the cache coordinates, replace the digits in the coordinates N33 57.LMN W117 40.PQR with the digits corresponding to your answer:

Shaker LMN PQR
A 259 782
B 308 895
C 192 773
D 358 868

 

At the final, you're looking for a pill bottle-sized container, log only. This lovely park is a popular place with muggles, so be circumspect in your searching. Please replace exactly as found, as it has been placed in a spot that is (hopefully) less visible.

First to find honors go to ganseyiii!
