A .30 CAL AMMO CAN HIDDEN IN WESTON,
MA.
The coordinates above are not the real
coordinates. Solve the puzzle to find the real
ones.
Last Christmas, "WardenRon", a noted local geocacher, gave each of
his three sons - named Garmin, Magellan, and Lowrance - his very
own GPSr unit as a gift. The triplets were excited and they all
started using them immediately.
They used their gifts in many ways. Sometimes they used their GPSrs
to find caches. Sometimes they used them to hide caches. And,
sometimes they used them to mark random waypoints in the woods and
neighborhoods. In order to keep track of all the places they
visited, they put the coordinates on a calendar.
The boys kept busy schedules and were not always able to explore
together. When all three boys went out together, they hid a cache.
On other days, when only one or two of them went out, they did not
hide a cache, but found one or only marked a random waypoint.
Of the three boys, Garmin loved using his GPSr the most, he went
out and used it every other day. Magellan liked geocaching, but not
as much as Garmin. Magellan went out every four days. Lowrance was
busy with other activities and only went out every seven
days.
To find the cache, study the dates and corresponding coordinates
below and determine the first date when all three boys went out
together. The coordinates listed with that date are the coordinates
for the cache they hid.
