Most people think of alchemists as crackpots or charlatans, who
attempted to turn lead into gold. Many alchemists believed that the
universe was composed of the four elements of earth, air, fire, and
water, and most alchemists spent much of their time concocting
miraculous remedies, poisons, and magic potions. However, many
alchemists were well-meaning and intelligent scholars, who were
simply struggling to make sense of a subject which, as we now know,
was far beyond the reach of their tools.
Throughout the history of the discipline, alchemists struggled
hard to understand the nature of the principles of chemical and
physical states. They struggled to find some order and sense in the
results of their chemical experiments, which were often undermined
by impure reagents. In spite of those difficulties, alchemists
managed to make steady progress in understanding the natural world.
We owe the discovery of many important substances and chemical
processes to these early 'scientists.'
Your first lesson in alchemy is to convert the following into
coordinates for the cache:
N 29 MORHC
W 095 CRYBN
The cache is a camoed plastic bottle that can be reached
(almost) without getting out of the car (if you park close enough).
Beware of muggles in the area. Inside there is a log and pen and
room for some small items.
