A nice walk along the coast in Ogunquit. Tons of muggles in mid-summer but not too difficult because of the final location. Off-season it shouldn't be bad at all. Parking can be found very close to the starting coordinates. There is some poison ivy along the way but it's mostly on the small, side paths and not the main walk so you should be OK (including the final location). Enjoy the views!
The listed coords will take you to the first place where you need to gather information. All coords are in the 43 14.abc 070 35.xyz range and are decoded with the following key:
Key
A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J |K |L |
1|2|9|4|5|6|7|8|3|10|11|12|
Stage 1:
Last letter of 8th word = a
3rd letter of 1st word after the TOP "NO" = b
Last letter of 4th word = c
5th letter of 1st word = x
The LARGE single letter, all by itself = y
2nd letter of 2nd word = z
Stage 2:
4th letter of 13th word = a
5th letter of 19th word = b
3rd letter of 6th word = c
2nd letter of 4th word = x
2nd and 3rd letter of 1st couple's LAST name = y & z
Stage 3:
4th letter of 6th word = a
5th letter of 5th word = b
4th letter of 4th word = c
4th letter of 6th word = x
5th letter of 6th word = y
the # that looks like the 3rd letter of the last word = z
Contents are varied and a small FTF prize has been included. Large enough for most TBs. Enjoy!
