Frequency Modulation Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Artemis: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thank you
Artemis

Geocache Description:


! THE COORDINATES ABOVE WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO THE CACHE !

In order to complete this cache successfully, you will need to do some math. Bring a calculator, paper and pencil to the cache to calculate the correct coordinates.

Parking: N 34 34.641 W 112 22.054

You will need to know these values:

A=1
B=2
C=3
D=4
E=5
F=6
G=7
H=8
I=9
J=10
K=11
L=12
M=13
N=14
O=15
P=16
Q=17
R=18
S=19
T=20
U=21
V=22

W-Z have no numerical value assigned!

The coordinates posted at the top of the page will take you to a sign. You will use this sign to calculate the coordinates to the actual cache.

N 34 xx.yyy
W 112 zz.www

To find the value of "xx": Sum the numerical value of the digits in the first word on the sign and subtract the numerical value of the letter "N".

To find the value of "yyy": Sum the numerical value of the digits in the seventh word on the sign, and add the numerical value of the boiling point of water (in Fahrenheit).

To find the value of "zz": Take the 11th letter on the sign and use its numerical value. (read top to bottom, left to right)

To find the value of "www": Sum the numerical value of the digits in the fourth word on the sign, and add 881.

Use the method above to find the coordinates to the cache. Follow the road from the parking area most of the way up and you will reach a water tank. From here you will have to make your own path up to the coordinates to the sign.

Good luck!
