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.

When at home, Mrs. LePew would sit down at the kitchen table for breakfast with a box of cookies and a cup of hot orange spice herbal tea. The habit of eating cookies for breakfast was how she got her nickname of “Cookie”. This cache is not about cookies but rather about tea. To get the final coordinates you need to know a little about tea.
