Geocache Description:



Welcome to the 10th anniversary of the "A Colt State Park Farewell to Summer" event!   

Here is your 'group solve' puzzle cache for this year.  We decided to make the puzzle based on the number 10 to celebrate those 10 years.  This puzzle is based on a puzzle cache in California - GC4BEC5.  Hope that CO doesn't mind us borrowing their great idea for our event.

In the picture below, there are 28 white regions contained within 10 overlapping circles and 2 gray regions not inside any circles (you can ignore those). For now, also ignore the letters outside of all the circles.  Those will be used to get the final coordinates.

To solve the puzzle, the letters in each circle must form the name of one of the 10 digits: "zero", "one", "two", ..., "nine". Each of the 10 names occurs exactly once.  We gave you a few letters to start with to make the puzzle easier.

 

Six of the circles are labeled from "A" to "F". Use the digits spelled out in those circles to get the coordinates.

The cache can be found at:

    N 41° 40.ABC   W 071° 17.DEF

Good luck!
