Hos geldiniz! Welcome to my ‘All Things Turkish’ cache. Acquire
something Turkish that I’ve brought back from Turkey. As the cache
is found again and again (Inshallah!), the contents will be
exchanged for non-Turkish items, however, if possible, please try
to trade with an unusual, international item.
Now the challenge of finding this cache! Since these items have
come a long way, it’s not going to be easy to acquire one of them.
The cache is hidden at:
N 33° FD.EAF'
W 111° CB.AAB'
Stage 1 (virtual): Go to N 33°
21.809’, W 111° 54.781’ to find the Turkish word for a
famous, ancient Biblical city located on the Aegean coast. Once you
have the information, find out what that name is in English and be
certain to spell it correctly.
Stage 2 (virtual): Go to N 33°
21.802’, W 111° 55.613’ to find the name of a famous ancient
Roman. Then think about how this famous Roman communicated with
others. Use this information to also figure out stage 3.
Stage 3 (virtual): Go to N 33°
24.922’, W 111° 55.032’ to find the name of a populous
Turkish city as the keyword to complete the URL
http://groups.msn.com/AllThingsTurkishstage3_____?_____/
where you can obtain the clues; then solve to figure out the final
coordinates.
Stage 4 (the stash!): Put all this info together and go
after your prize! The FTF gets a special Turkish treat. You may
email
me if you wish to have confirmation before going after the
final coordinates. Also, be wary of local transient activity as
evidence of their presence has been sighted in the vicinity.
Iyi eglenceler ve hayirli olsun/Have fun and may you be
blessed!
