Geocache Description:


WELCOME TO THE COLORADO "C" GEOART BONUS

 

Colorado is filled with beautiful places.  This Geoart is a way for me to share photos from all over the state.  Each one has been made into a jigsaw puzzle for you to solve. When you find the cache be sure to make note of the clue written on the log sheet. The clues include a letter or symbol and a number.  Collect all 29 and you will be able to solve this Bonus puzzle. This cache is stocked with Colorado themed items. Please take one.

 

All the finals including this one are located along trails in North Cheyenne Canyon. The difficulty is in the puzzles so the hints will help once you are on the trail. A few have spoiler photos too. All containers except the Bonus are black bison tubes. The trails can be very icy in winter so be prepared with some added traction for your shoes.

 

I owe many thanks to Kerewin0430 for helping hide this series and verifying coordinates.

 

The Geoart starts here:  #01 Can You "C" Colorado?, GCA3TX3

 

Once you have all the clues use the following formula to calculate the final coordinates:

 

(14*X)+(13*L)+(90*S)+(150*W)+(80*H)+(16*C)+(70*&)+(80*T)+(4*Z)+(5*Y)+(12*D)+(100*$)+(109*B)+(94*!)=eeeee

17*eeeee=EEEEEE

 

(128*J)+(156*N)+(88*K)+(27*F)+(242*E)+(101*@)+(137*G)+(45*M)+(77*R)+(142*V)+(56*U)+(72*#)+(65*P)+(93*Q)+(152*A)=nnnnn

97*nnnnn=NNNNNNN

 

The cache is at 13S EEEEEE NNNNNNN

 

 

 

Congrats to hartsdale for the FTF
