The word "heksenkessel" is German for "witch's cauldron". Do you
have what it takes to find the witch's hidden cauldron? The crafty
witch has hidden seven (7) clues -- keys -- that, collectively,
hold the secret to finding the witch's cauldron. Each clue takes
the form of a puzzle piece. You will have to find all seven pieces
and assemble them in the correct pattern to glean the secret.
All of the witch's caches initially contain traditional cache
items following the Hallowe'en theme.
The witch has hidden this cache in a spooky, mysterious place.
It will be difficult (if not impossible) to find without solving
the Puzzle of the Seven Keys.
NOTE WELL: The listed coordinates are not for the
cauldron itself but for a nearby park entrance. You must solve the
puzzle to determine the location of the hidden cauldron.
There is a parking lot inside the park itself, and the trail
head is concealed to the north-east of the parking area, just to
the west of the theatre barn.
NOTE: The Key caches 1-7 do not need to be found in
numerical order. All 7 are needed to solve the puzzle, but can be
found in whatever order suits you.
September 2, 2009: If any of the caches has run
out of keys when you find it, you can get an online version of all
the keys here: Online
version of Keys. Print a copy of each of the online keys, so
that they are all the same size, and you should be able to solve
the puzzle.
November 7, 2007: You can check your answers for
this puzzle on
Geochecker.com.
REVISED 03/22/2007: Please drop off all reusable
keys in the plastic bag marked for this purpose. This will speed up
the turn-around time when the key caches need to be restocked.
Thanks.
