The heart of the dragon, and the game, was conceived here. It is NOT one of the series of twelve, but stands alone, along with the 'Life Source' track, and is its mate.There were no clues, only the poem below. Of course, we give you coordinates…..well, almost. You will have to study the poem and fill in some of the numbers!
*** The coordinates above will not lead you to the cache.*** A puzzle with a purpose, this game, Tracking the Dragon, was conceived in 1991 by Wild Olympic Salmon as a way for people to learn about water. There are 12 bronze dragon tracks, which represent a phase of the hydrologic cycle: sedimentary rock, glaciers, clouds, rain, streams, freshwater wetlands, rivers, soil water, groundwater, estuaries, Puget Sound, Hood Canal, and the sea. Dragon tracks are bronze, about two feet long, and you can make rubbings of them with thin paper and crayon. Join us on our adventure to locate these tracks. This track is a riddle, for which you must study the poem below. "tHE sAme sea in us all Red dark warm THrobbing winds from Every quARTer in tHE sAils of the heaRT line of foam tHrough whitE spAce questions falling fRom THE oAR rolling back on THE wAve feaR behind THE dARkness or THE sAme sea waiting foR anoTher The answer to this riddle is that this track is within us, the people that live at the heart of the dragon." Check out the capital letters; how many times do they form a word in the poem? The answer is A B = A minus one C = A minus two. D = A minus four The track is at N48*00.ABC and W122*46.CDA Good luck! 3-21-05 Wow- Congratulations to Tolmaus on FTF!
