Geocache Description:


🏴‍☠️ CASTLE OZ 🏴‍☠️

This is a hybrid puzzle cache with 2 options!

Hard way: Find the cache without exact coordinates. The cache is hidden on the structure at the posted coordinates. You can search for it if you like but will be very difficult to find.

Easier way: Solve the puzzle, Enter the number into the geo-checker to obtain the exact coordinates as well as a spoiler pic for the geocache location.

I saw this puzzle while watching one of my favorite shows. I took some notes and thought it might make a good puzzle someday.

Puzzle: The image below includes 24 bones placed to show 5080. ONLY move 2 bones to create the largest whole number possible. Enter that number into the checker to obtain the final coordinates.

Cache Info: I posted coordinates for a couple parking waypoints. From the closest parking location, it is just over 1/10th mile hike up the hill to GZ. The structure at GZ could be very busy and covered in mountain bikers, especially on the weekend. While on the trails, yield to the bikers as they are coming down the hill. I recommend hiking just off the trail to GZ to avoid getting ran over.
Advice: To avoid the crowds, Attempt to search for the cache early in the morning or at sundown. I hid the cache right after it rained and there was no one at GZ.
