Since I just published a challenge requiring 2000 or more Unknown caches, I thought I would add to the local cadre of puzzles. Simply read the text below and if you think you know what the final coordinates are, enter them into Certitude to verify. Enjoy!
You are at a geocaching event held at a local pizza place in the company of many fellow cachers enjoying both fresh pizza and fresher caching stories. You win a trackable at the drawing! After a while you become aware of a couple deep in conversation directly behind you, leaning in and talking in hushed whispers. Even though they are talking quietly, you can still make out what they are saying.......
PERSON #1: There are a lot of trails up there but I know of four it could be on. I told them we needed to see proof ourselves of which trail of the four it was otherwise we would be forced to take off our hiking boots and forgo the trip, even though it would have been try number three.
PERSON #2: Nevermind the hiking, what about the swamp! I heard that there is a nearby swamp with reeds and swamp grass that it could be hidden in, only four miles away! If that's the case, we're going to have to waterproof our boots again or better yet, just get hip waders.
PERSON #1: I don't know man! I know there were at least five people, maybe more, living in that swamp, survivalists, conspritorial, quasi xenophobic. Not sure I want to run into those people with nothing more than a GPS and an orange pen!
PERSON #2: I heard there were six people living in the swamp.
PERSON #1: There was this one guy, huge by any standards! He would outweigh traditional busses by at least a factor of two! Law enforcement is aware of this dude, I think the Sheriff. I very much don't want to meet him!
PERSON #2: I have seen that guy! I noticed right away that he had on a bamboo necktie. I thought that was strange, not that he was wearing one tie, but I have never observed a necktie made from bamboo before. I also noticed they were wearing a hat or cap made from some bright woolen fabric with two colors, orange and yellow. Three times I saw that guy approach a tree and perform a faith reenactment ritual though to be honest, he probably could have gotten the job done with just one.
PERSON #1: Weird rituals performed in the woods should make our decision easy!
PERSON #2: As always, ixnay on the olumevay! eway avehay otay ebay ieterquay. I think those six people behind you are listening to us!
PERSON #1 (Continuing quieter): Well, what are we going to do, scarf our two pizzas and head out?
PERSON #2: We have to weigh the pros and cons of leaving at nine tonight.
PERSON #1: I have to admit that after this conversation I am a little nervous about doing this one.
PERSON #2: I know, it's a common emotion. Let's wait till morning and see how we feel.
PERSON#1: Sounds great!
Do you think you know where it is?
