Cache is NOT at posted coordinates
Many years ago, Leesburg, the world’s largest geocaching town, was dealing with an onslaught of muggled caches and a protective wall was built up around the town to keep muggles at bay. However, for two months now, muggle invaders have bombarded this wall, hoping to muggle all the caches within, and Leesburg’s defense systems are only days away from failing. A massive expeditionary force from Geocaching Headquarters have been dispatched to provide reinforcements, and they are due to arrive at Leesburg tonight. But there’s been a problem, which is why you’ve been summoned to this briefing.
At 2200 hours last night, muggle forces captured Leesburg’s secure telecommunications satellite. Without the encrypted telesat, Leesburg has no secure communications and cannot transmit the password to the expeditionary force that would allow them to enter into Leesburg through the wall. Thankfully, the managers of each of the “Seven Wonders of Leesburg”, which include the Art Gallery, the Stadium, the Mall, the Observation Deck, the Gardens, the Zoo, and the Library, have created a puzzle that will each lead you to a five-letter word. When all seven of these five-letter words are obtained, they can be used to find the password, which will allow the expeditionary force to pass through Leesburg’s wall and save Leesburg from certain doom!
You are gathered here because you are the best and brightest puzzle masters within the geocaching community. You must solve these puzzles and recover the password before the muggles do! Thousands of lives hang in the balance! Good luck!
