My Second Mystery Cache! There is a simple (I hope) puzzle for you to solve below. The posted coordinates provide you with a trailhead for you to begin your Lion Hunting Expedition! (Cameras only, this Lion is friendly!) To find the cache you must answer 5 trivia questions and use the digital roots of the answers to do some simple math. Simple enough that I can do it and I'm terrible at this, so you can do it! Hope the mystery is easy to solve and you enjoy a nice walk along this section of the trail. It's a favourite of ours in the Fall and Winter!
For the following questions change the answer into a number via its digital root. A=1,B=2,C=3 and so on. For Example: Lions line the procession way to what gate in the ancient city of Babylon? The answer is Ishtar! The digital root of Ishtar is 9+19+8+20+1+18=75--- 7+5=12 --- 1+2=3 The DR of Ishtar is 3!

🦁 Trivia and Math completed! 🎉🎉🎉 Plug your new coordinates in and go find the cache! The container is small with a micro log. Please bring a writing utensil and maybe tweezers so that you can successfully log the cache! If any problems with container or log (or the math/coordinates!) please message me so I can fix it as quickly as possible. If you want to share a favourite famous Lion or story about Lions when you log the cache that would be fun (but not necessary)! Happy Caching and Walking!
PS - if you need an ear worm while you are finding this cache.... just start off with "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight. Wee-ooh wim-o-weh"!
If you find yourself singing or humming that song as you walk you are welcome...or....more likely, I'm sorry!😂
