Geocache Description:


Have you heard that the BeeGees were onion lovers?

They say it all in the song “Chive Talking.

 

Pizza puns at their best, no matter how you slice it.

 

 

ABOUT THIS CACHE

This is a fairly simple 3 stage multi-cache. The first stage will give you the last three digits for the North coordinates and the second stage stage will give you the last three digits for the West coordinates.  

Stage 1 (at posted coordinates): You will be looking for a line of 10 numbers at the bottom of a sign next to a window at the posted coordinates (aka, stage 1) in the form of "a b c - d e f - g h i j"

 The Final North coords will be N 41° 03.adi

 

Stage 2 (listed in additional waypoints): Go down the street to stage 2 (N 41° 3.842 W 82° 53.231) and you will be looking for a metal strip of  numbers and letters on a pole (black numbers and letters on a yellow background) at the Stage 2 coordinates in the form of "a b c d e f - g h i"

Use the numbers to get the last 3 digits for the West, this is not multiplication, just 3 individual digits, f, g and the sum of g plus h. (Again, this is not an algebraic equation, don't complicate it)

The Final West coords will be  W 82° 53.fg(g+h)

 

Now you should have the final coordinates. You can drive to about 100 feet or so from the final. The lid just screws on and off.

Solution checker in case the check sum doesn't make sense.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

Stage 3: (Final cache location) Procede down the long paved drive to a municipal location, it is not a private residence and the gates are always open to near the final coords that you have come up with from stages 1 and 2.  The check sum for all 6 digits (the last 3 from the North and last 3 from the West) will add up to 29 if you are unsure. Please do not lift the large container out of its position and make sure that the lid is screwed on tight to keep rain out.

Please stamp, punch, code word, etc. on the corresponding line on your passport if you are wanting to get the Geo Coin for doing all 19 caches in this series.
