Geocache Description:


Welcome to A Puzzle of Life "GENE-O-CACHE" mystery cache! This cache is not at the posted coordinates. It requires a bit of brainpower and translation to find the final coordinates.

Your task is to solve a puzzle involving a series of letters (code) that are encoded into each and every one of us.  Just a great reminder that we are all one regardless of how diverse we are!  This initial installment is a bit geeky... a bit of basic biology will help....... and feel free to reach out with questions:-)  Once you decipher and translate the code correctly, you'll unlock the final coordinates through Certitudes.  Happy Caching!  

The Puzzle:

  • Code: TGTGCTTGTCATGAA
  • Your challenge is to translate this into something essential for life.

Once you have the correct translation, you will be able to decode the final coordinates for the cache. 

Please make sure to rehide it just as you found it to keep the experience fun for others. Thanks!

Good luck, and happy hunting!

Congrats VentureTrace, VentureVal, and Smoochermom for FTFs!
