Geocache Description:

The cache is not @ the listed coordinates!

This is the first of our quandry cache series.

In an effort to add a new dimension to our caches this series will force you to use your brain to get to the prize.


The one word answer to this riddle will lead you to figure out the coordinates for the cache...

What can run but never walks,
has a mouth but never talks,
has a head but never weeps,
has a bed but never sleeps?

Your next challenge is to figure out how to convert the letters from the answer into numbers to fill the coordinates below.

N 35 12.***
W 080 49.@##

* = 2nd letter - 2
@ = 3rd letter / 11
# = 4th letter

The container is a small one with no room for trading items. Bring your own pen.

The purpose of this cache is to give you a nice riddle to figure out and to bring you to a nice piece of Charlotte beauty that you may have missed otherwise.

This is our first puzzle cache so we would like feedback on the difficulty rating as well as how much you enjoyed figuring it out.

Check your coordinates here to see if you solved the puzzle correctly...
