Geocache Description:

Congratulations to Mama Hen & Her 2 Chicks on FTF!!

The above Coordinates are not the real ones

This is a cache that I placed in honor of my 500th find- YEA for me!!!!

This is also in honor of those that have reached a milestone or want to.....just remember the infamous caching adage…It’s not about the numbers!!

The name of this cache is nothing more than another language to spell/say 500.
This will be the theme of gaining coordinates for my cache, but you will have to do some translation via the internet to do so.
The chart below has an example based on the name of this cache. If it is easier, go ahead and print out this cache listing to use as a worksheet.

The puzzle portion of this cache has been beta tested by a couple of helpful fellow cachers out of state, and they seem to think it is pretty much a straight forward cache, so I am placing the difficulty level a 3 on the puzzle, but the actual hide will be more on the lines of a 1.

**** I have noticed in some searches that you may come across a language that has an extended name IE: ProSlavik. In this case use the basic name Slavik.

500 LANGUAGE LETTERS IN LANGUAGE ADD OR SUBTRACT FINAL ANSWER
pet stotina Croatian 8 -2 6 = A
femhundrede +3 = B
cinq cents +2 = C
cinquecento -6 = D
piecset -2 = E
quinhentos -1 = F
cinci sute -8 = G
viisisataa +0 = H
quinientos -0 = I

Plug the final number into the corresponding place in the coordinates below and this will be the final coordinates to 500.

N 47 2B.CDE
W 122 3F.GHI

I did find something that will give all the answers in one place, It is up to you to find that something.

If you are confident in your translation and research skills don’t bother, but if you want to verify your coordinates before heading out on your search for this cache (which is not a bad option to save you the trip), email me here with the foreign word and the language you came up with for that word as well as the coordinates, and I will be more than happy to verify them, and if needed I will tell you what word you need to do further research on.

For the FTF, I have placed into the cache, two micro containers for you to paint and place, as well as a Starbucks gift card


Happy Hunting and Good Luck!!
