Geocache Description:


This cache was originally placed for the fifth annual Greater Omaha Grave Hop, an event that takes place in the Omaha area. The caches are located in and around cemeteries. Please be respectful and search for the caches between dawn and dusk.

Please note that this is a field-puzzle multi cache; you will need to visit posted coordinates to figure out the coordinates to the final stage.

“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” cried the prince. In doing so, he broke the curse placed on poor Rapunzel by the evil witch. According to local legend, the witch was doomed to watch over the empty tower for eternity, her face etched in stone all along the top of the tower. Our protagonists, meanwhile, stashed a key to the tower nearby - just in case another unfortunate person gets stuck up there. Maybe you can find the key? Count the number of witch faces you see at the top of the tower and use this number as the key to the cipher below. (You will have to spell out the number.) Check the hint if you’re stuck. Oh, and you can assume N41 and W096.
