This is a puzzle geocache. There is no container or relevant information at the posted coordinates.

Crater Lake National Park

The United States has 63 National Parks. All of these parks have different beauty between each other. The oldest is Yellowstone (1872), and the newest is New River Gorge (2020). Each National Park has a 4 digit “Alpha Code.” The Alpha codes are made up of the first four letters of the park name. But if the park has more than one word, it takes the first two letters of the first two words. But there are some exceptions.

Examples:

1 word: Yosemite - yose

2 word: Petrified Forest - pefo

2+ word: Black Canyon of the Gunnison - blca

Exception: Carlsbad Caverns - cave

I will hide a geocache to honor all of these parks. I will do 6 groups of 10 caches . Most of these are a puzzle with 6 questions.

I used Wikipedia for this information, as it gives it all on one page. Also say in your log if you have been to this park. Make sure to post pictures if you have visited!

Crater Lake was one of the first National Parks I visited, I think I was 7 years old when I went. I remember there was a lot of snow there, even in July, and we went on a snowshoe ranger guided hike. 

This cache replaces the archived GC7EHDN nps - crla that went missing and didn't have the best original spot. Since it was a puzzle cache, I decided to archive it and replace with a new cache close by, but not in the exact same spot. This is also easier than having finders convert to new coordinates on a puzzle they may have solved a while ago.

The final container is at: N 38° 00.ABC W 122° 10.DEF

A. The deepest point in the lake is 1,9A9 feet below the surface.

B. How many letters are in the name of the island on the lake?

C. Crater Lake is often referred to as the 7thdeepest lake in the world, but this former listing excludes the approximately 3,000-foot depth of subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica, which resides under nearly 13,000 feet of ice, and the recent report of a 2,740-foot maximum depth for Lake O'Higgins/San Martin, located on the border of Chile and Argentina. However, when comparing its average depth of 1,148 feet to the average depth of other deep lakes, Crater Lake becomes the deepest in the Western Hemisphere and the third-deepest in the world. The impressive average depth of this volcanic lake is due to the nearly symmetrical 4,000-foot-deep (1,200 m) caldera formed C,700 years ago during the violent climactic eruptions and subsequent collapse of Mount Mazama and the relatively moist climate that is typical of the crest of the Cascade Range.

D. The park was established on May 22, 190D.

E. Besides Crater Lake, there are E other National Parks in the state of Oregon.

F. The United States Geological Survey benchmarked elevation of the lake surface itself is F,178 feet above sea level.
