Geocache Description:


This cache is not located at the posted coordinates. There is no need to go to this location first. Complete the Utah's EPCOT Adventure Lab to obtain the cache coordinates.

Welcome to Harvest Hills — in 1999, this community was envisioned as an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow E.P.C.O.T. It featured open space, walkable neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, mixed density, roundabouts, traffic calming, arterial streets, distinct neighborhoods, pocket parks, sound berms, and an extensive trail systems. It was among the first neighborhoods designed using 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) land-planning software and served as a prototype for a new kind of development. You can learn more about this experiment in the Adventure Lab.

On-Site Gadget Cache

At the solved coordinates you will find a gadget cache discreetly installed within the trees of this sketchy part of the neighborhood. Gently pull the perch mechanism straight outward to unlock the drawer. No force should be required for the perch or the drawer— the mechanisms are designed to slide.

Inside the drawer is an analog Computer Aided Drafting input device the LandPlanner 2D. Operate it using the CAD-style plot instructions below.

Use the instructions to reveal the lock-combination numbers for positions A, B, C, and D. The Entry column shows the position you’re filling on the 4 digit pad lock. You may want to take the apparatus away from GZ while you work it out.
