FunnyNose, a Seattle based geocacher, recently contacted me about
setting up a multi cache with a bit of a difference - and here it
is!
The published coordinates won't get you anywhere - except wet.
To solve this puzzle, you will first have to:
1) FINISH: Multi-Cache
Hobart-Hobart TransPacific Multi-Cache Part A.
2) COPY: all the information found inside the cache. (Including
Washington parking coordinates and hint.) Your counterpart will
have similar information.
3) COMMUNICATE: with a cacher near Hobart, WA, USA; they will
need to retrieve informaton from Hobart-Hobart
TransPacific Multi-cache Part 1. So how do you get information
from a cache that is nearly 13,400 kilometres away? You’re going to
have to engage in some TransPacific cooperation! One way you could
do this is to check out this cache and others in the area, read
through logs, and see who seems to be a local cacher. Contact them
through gc.com and see if they are willing to work with you.
4) GET PASSWORDS: To be sure that the cacher in Washinton has
actually located their micro-cache, ask for the Tasmanian password.
They in turn will ask for the Washington password.
5) GO GET YOUR LOCAL FINAL CACHE: Once you have contacted a
cacher in Washington and traded information, you will have the
coordinates for the final cache.
6) TASMANIAN SPECIFICS: The final cache location is on a
fantastic bush walk; this track is at altitude, so please be
prepared for changeable weather, wear a hat, bring some water, etc.
You are looking for a camouflaged ammo can.
*** PLEASE, NO SHARING OF THE PASSWORDS AND COORDINATES
WITH OTHER LOCAL GEOCACHERS. ***
Congratulations to the Cheesy Pigs for getting FTF on this one!
At a special award ceremony that took place at the Taste on 1
January 2006, they were presented with their FTF prizes for this
cache and Part A, two Washington State Geocaching geocoins. These
coins were very kindly provided by FunnyNose!
