Geocache Description:

The first of a series of caches starting at the new roundabout near Duvall.

The posted coordinates are for the roundabout.
When they built this roundabout last year, a lot of people said that it would cause problems. Actually, it has made traffic much better.

Solve this puzzle and it will lead you to a micro and a nice view.

What year was the original release of the Yes song “Roundabout”? = ABCD

North coordinate = 47 degrees 4(A.BCD + .563)

In what British town is the “Magic Roundabout”?

Use this code to convert the village name to digits:

a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 e=5 f=6 g=7 h=8 i=9 j=0 k=1 etc.

Digits = EFGHIJK

West coordinate= 121 degrees (KI.JEF + 15.209)
________________________________________________
Alternate puzzle for west coordinate:

What year was the Magic Roundabout in the British town above built? Year= E.FGH.

West coordinate= 121 degrees 5(E.FGH + 7.830)

Now take these coordinates and drive highway 203 from the south. Go around the roundabout 11 and ¾ times and exit. You should be pointed in the right direction. ( and kind of dizzy). Be careful at the cache site.
Good luck!
