Geocache Description:


This is a cache designed for those that can't or won't do the full scale cache 150 Miles to Glory.  Consider this a tongue in cheek homage to that cache.  While it's a little more than 150 yards, it's an awful lot less than 150 miles! (round trip perhaps 1/2 mile.)

 

Park at these co-ordinates:  N41°26.827 W72°45.019. Park Here! Don't get stuck elsewhere!

 

Stage 1: Turtlesque

Just like it's full sized relative, 150 Yards to Glory starts with a chess puzzle.  Of course it's a great deal easier to solve than the original.

 

Stage 2: Wing-itish

The puzzle above will bring you to a micro cache.  This cache may be a problem if you're under 5 feet tall.

 

Stage 3: Sky Trek Sorta

The co-ordinates found in Stage 2 take you to a glass jar.  Figure out how many pennies are in the jar (by counting them...duh).

To find the second part.. 

N41°26.XXX where XXX = 849 + number of pennies in the jar.

W72°44.XXX where XXX= 874 + number of pennies in the jar.

 

Stage 4: Zingerkinda

The co-ordinates found stage 3's cache take you to another cache.  The round trip distance to this cache depends on your vehicle.  If you own a sedan or some other non 4x4 that you don't want to drive on grass, you'll have a round trip of about 30 feet.  If you own a Jeep, Hummer or a car you don't mind pulling over onto the grass with, you can cut that down to 6 feet!

 

Stage 5: W I D E GlideLike

The co-ordinates  found in the micro at stage 4 point to a road sign.  The road sign prominently displays a two digit number.  The final cache is found at:

N41° 26.XXX where XXX = 925 + the road sign value

W72° 44.XXX where XXX = 924 + the road sign value

 

I hope you enjoyed this cache and perhaps you might think about trying the full sized version created by Turtle, Zingerhead, Wing-it, Sky trek and W I D E glide.
