The Phoenix Series. This series of caches is going to replace GC2P41A, Mac's Mossy Mountainous Murderous Malevolent Multi which was publilshed in 2011. If you didn't do it, it took the cacher to six locations in Mac Forest where a small field puzzle was waiting at each location that would lead you to the next waypoint and so on till the final. It got great reviews and I loved putting it together but due to the forest changing so much in the last couple of years, this has been a bear to maintain. So, I decided to archive it and create these new caches. If you are looking for a similar adventure to Mac's Mossy..., try GCAGJ34 Epic MacDonald Forest Epic Adventure, it's probably even more murderous and malevolent!
In each of the first 5 Phoenix Series caches is a code word that, when entered into Certitude in alphabetical order (no spaces), will provide the coordinates for the bonus cache. This cache, the 4th in the series, is a regular multi. At the posted coordinates is a kiosk titles OSU COLLEGE FORESTS. Answer the following questions and do some simple math to get the final coordinates.
N44 AB.CDE W123 FG.HIJ
A: How many people are depicted in the large center picture?
B: How many words in the tag line under the title of the kiosk? PLUS 2
C: How many animals (not including people) are in the large center picture?
D: How many lines of text are under the Teaching and Demonstration sections total?
E: What is 3 squared?
F: How many people not wearing a hard hat are depicted in the large center picture?
G: How many birds are depicted in the large center picture?
H: How many deer are depicted in the large center picture?
I: What is 2 cubed?
J: How many people appear in pictures across the very bottom?
ABCDE Checksum = 29
FGHIJ Checksum = 14
Enjoy, and don't forget to write down the code word!
