Geocache Description:


Fork Diss

Local Geocaching officionado burgo78 placed a series of caches on the Bohle river in order to get us landlubbers out on the water. Whilst I never have a problem with watercraft caches normally, I found these ones posed a few challenges that kayaking on the freshwater section of the Ross River didn't have, and ended up having to do them out of the prescribed order so I am listing my grievances, a fork diss, so to speak

3.Mud - if the tide isn't right, the mud out here is rather slippery, and isn't the most solid underfoot as I found out while attempting Fork Off # 3 sinking down to my shins

2. Tides.. high tides are required to attempt them. The last one I did would be unreachable according to GC Diver if the tide on the day we did Fork # 2 on was any lower

1. Crocodiles -  Let's just say some out here are longer than a tinny so kayaking isn't an option. People go missing in North Queensland rivers and these guys are the main suspects. I was probably very lucky on the day I boated to Fork Off # 1 that one didn't follow me up the fork

I know it's a short list but I had to stop rambling and get to the puzzle in an orderly fashion.

The Puzzle

Apparently these are Code Crackers. As I wanted a higher Difficulty I chose one that had no free letters. As you work your way through it the letters gather their own numbers which you can enter across the crossword.

Match those letters with their corresponding numbers in the final two lines and you will end up with a word or two or three at the end of it. You should be able to do something with them at that point. I have included a certitude checker (No Spaces) as well as the correct geocaching solution checker for good measure to make sure you aren't stuck at a boat ramp with nowhere to go.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

 

Have fun and enjoy the River. Watch for Crocs!

Don't forget your fishing equipment.
