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.

Cancer ribbons come in different colors that represent different types of cancer. For instance, for metastatic breast cancer the ribbon is multi colored pink, teal & green. Below is a list of ribbon colors labeled A thru F, and types of cancer numbered 0 thru 9. Match up the ribbon color with the type of cancer it represents to get the final coordinates for this cache. As an example, if A = pink, teal & green and metastatic breast cancer was number 4, then A = 4.
