Geocache Description:



Congratulations to fsibero for First-To-Find.

 

The seventh in a series of nine, taking you to all of the communities of Goshen County, Wyoming.  
Torrington, Lingle, Ft. Laramie, Jay Em, Huntley, Veteran, Yoder, Hawk Springs and La Grange
 

(Actually, there is a tenth, bonus cache, if you complete all nine. There will be a piece of information/clue in each cache, on a popsicle stick. 
Make sure you put the clue back in the cache.)

Wyoming is my adopted state, with Torrington, Goshen County, as my adopted town.    I have finally started hiding caches and wanted to see more mystery types, so I'm creating a Mystery Cache hide in each community in Goshen County.  The physical caches shouldn't be too hard to locate, and the Mystery puzzles can all be solved from home with a little research.  They are probably on the simple end of the spectrum and may be suitable to introduce new geocachers to mystery puzzles.

When driving through town, looking for a cache location, I noticed they are working on several projects in town. 
They got a new water tower in December, 2021.



They also installed a series of story boards along Main Street, where children can walk from one board to the next to read a short story. 
 

And speaking about children's stories....

 

The Cache:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

The posted coordinates will take you to the Town Hall.

I have permission to place this cache. 
 

However, the town is small, so we only have to figure out the last 3 digits of the minutes for both the North and West coordinates.

N 41° 55.xxx' W 104° 17.xxx'

So, here are those six digits...



 

 


 

 

Where:

Margaret & H. A. Rey       =    1

Margaret Wise Brown      =    2

Beatrix Potter                    =    3

P. L. Travers                        =    4

Laura Ingalls Wilder         =    5

Robert Lewis Stevenson  =    6

Maurice Sendak                =    7

Lewis Carroll                     =     8

Dr. Seuss                            =     9

A. A. Milne                          =    0
