Geocache Description:


This is a Puzzle Cache. There is no container at the posted coordinates.

This geoart is in memory of my wife, Mrs. LePew, who battled cancer until her death. In 2012 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent bilateral mastectomy to remove the cancer. In 2019 she was again diagnosed with cancer. This time it was metastatic breast cancer that had metastasized in her liver and bones of her lower spine and hip. In March of 2024 she lost her battle with cancer. To complete this geoart you will need to answer questions or solve puzzles that mostly relate to the life and times of Mrs. LePew.

Mrs. LePew was one of eight children. They all earned nicknames during their childhood based on their traits or habits while growing up. For breakfast, Mrs. LePew always ate chocolate chip cookies and earned the nickname “Cookie”. Through her adult life she continued to eat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast except in the early Spring when Girl Scout cookies went on sale. Then she would purchase up to a dozen boxes of Girl Scout cookies to eat for breakfast. To get the final coordinates you need to match the Girl Scout cookie flavor with its description.
