Geocache Description:

Worden's Ledges in Hinckley, Ohio has carvings made in the 1940's by an eccentric land owner. Noble Stuart carved images of George Washington, a sphinx, Thomas Jefferson, and others into the ledges behind his home.


This cache hunt will give you a tour of the carvings. Park at  N 41o 13.301   W 081o 43.877. Follow the trails and your instincts to reach the carvings. The above coordinates will take you to a carving of a face and the words T. Cobb. From this point you will need to search the ledges to fill in the missing digits for the final cache coordinates. They are:

N 41o 12.ABC

W 081o 43.DDF

  1. Facing the carving of  T. Cobb, turn left and follow the trail to the freestanding carving that clearly has the date 1852 carved on it. 

            DD = The total number of letters in the words above the date 

 

  1. Return to the carving of T. Cobb. Find the the small carving with compass direction arrows above it. You'll have to search well to find it. 

        F = The number of mountains in the carving + 4

        C = The number of letters in the name of the symbol to the right of the mountains X 2

        B = The number of letters in the name of the symbol to the left of the mountains 

 

  1. From where you are now standing, look for the carving composed of Christian symbols 

          A = The number of Christian symbols INSIDE the heart in that carving

 

Trails will take you to the final cache. You shouldn't have to bushwhack more than 50 feet. The cache container is an ammo can containing:

  • A rubber ducky
