Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. 

Ever since I started geocaching I've occasionally seen images or text written out with bogus coordinates of mystery caches. The first geo-art that I saw was up in Kansas City. It was a geo-art north of the Kansas City International Airport consisting of 52 challenge caches spelling KCI. Since then, I have seen many here in Florida, but only 1 in Pinellas. (If you consider the MMMM series a geo-art) This inspired me to make my own. 

This series consists of 15 mystery caches which all have an associated puzzle. The puzzles are all alike and self-explanatory. I recommend you solve all of them before making your way out. All caches are located along the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail. Parking is available at multiple locations along the trail but parking on the trail is prohibited. From end to end, the series runs a little under 2.5 miles. The D/T for each cache is based on the hide & location.

Puzzle - Match up the smiley faces with the key provided to obtain the final coordinates. 

 

If there are any issues with the cache, feel free to message me or write a "Needs Maintenance" log.
