Geocache Description:


What is the origin of the phrase "the bee's knees?"  Probably simply because "bees" rhymes with "knees."   The phrase seems to have evolved in 1920s America, along with other arbitrary expressions such as  "the cat's pyjamas," "the snake's hips", "the kipper's knickers", and "the sardine's whiskers."  In my case, I'm just looking for clever ways to create a cache in honor of my upcoming knee replacement surgery. Since I expect to be slowed down for a bit, I'm making a few easy caches mostly Park & Grabs for all to enjoy.  

Do bees have knees and what's so special about them if they do?  Like all insects, bees have _________ (how many?) sections to their legs.   That's a lot of "knees!"   

To solve this easy puzzle do the following:   How many parts are there to a bee's leg?   Take that number and add 34 to it.  Then add that total to the N coordinates, and then add that very same number to the W coordinates.

If you are driving southbound on this road, there is a very clear and safe blacktop pulloff from the road right by the cache location.   There is a small coin for the FTF.   Take a walk across the bridge for a nice view of the Charles River while you're here!

Happy caching!
