Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.



Please solve the puzzle below.







In spring everything seems to be born anew, the snow has melted away leaving a fresh layer to grow. the birds are perched in the bushes awaiting the sweet nectar that the buds promise it is a time to get outside and work in the garden or to be outside for some nice activities, go fly a kite ride a bike or get ready to golf, plan a getaway to watch the Jays practice. I just want to quit doing what I am doing and faze everything out, just to relax and enjoy the sounds of spring.


Please determine which letters, from the words given below, are on each of the 4 dice:


Die 1 (B), Die 2 (U), Die 3 (S) and Die 4 (Y)




ANEW BIRD BUSH FAZE JAYS QUIT
AVID BLUE BUSY FOAL JUNE SAVE
BIKE BORN COAT GOLF KITE WHIM



Once you have figured out which letters go on which die, place the 6 letters in alphabetical order. The next step is to determine the letter values: A = 1, Z = 26. (for example - if the first alphabetical letter on die 1 was a D, then the value for die 1 letter 1 would be 4)


The cache can be found in spring at N 45 QR.STU W 075 VW.XYZ


Q = die 3 letter 5 - die 2 letter 5
R = die 3 letter 6 - die 4 letter 5
S = die 1 letter 1 + die 3 letter 1
T = die 2 letter 1 + die 4 letter 1
U = die 2 letter 2 - die 3 letter 1
V = die 1 letter 3 - die 1 letter 2
W = die 2 letter 4 - die 4 letter 2
X = die 1 letter 5 - die 4 letter 4
Y = die 4 letter 6 - die 1 letter 4
Z = die 3 letter 3 - die 1 letter 2




Have fun and happy caching.
