Geocache Description:


Ahoy, me hearties!  I be Cap'n Octothorpe.   Me and me Pound Sign Crew sailed up the Ohio River and then the Little Miami in me ship, The Hashtag.  Ye might be seein' our sign in the area.  Now, me and me crew be all about the #'s!  There be 29 total caches in this series:  One be a traditional (#21) and be the start of the adventure (find this one if ye be needin' any help gettin' started).  There be 20 puzzle caches (#20-#1) - I recommend startin' with #20 and endin' with #1, but ye can be findin' 'em  in any order ye be wantin'.  Finally, there be 8 bonus caches (A-H); ye be gettin' the location of these bonus caches (extra #'s) randomly, one at a time through the adventure - be sure to be checkin' the lid and bottom of each cache for any extra #'s!  A phone or notebook be really helpful to capture the key information.

The trails be gettin' pretty slippery when they be wet.  Be careful or come back when it be drier.

To leave our sign on yer fair town, we be needin' to hide mystery caches - that means there be puzzles.  Me quartermaster, Sharp, thought up the puzzles and of course, they have #'s in 'em!  Sharp's puzzles be straight forward with no funny business, put the right numbers in the right place and ye have yer solution.  No need to be solvin' the whole series, solve what ye can quickly and get out there to find the caches - there be help out there to keep ye goin'.

Puzzle be startin' here:

Use each of the following numbers once and only once to solve the equation: 2, 4, 6, 8

N 39° 19.(G) (G) (E) , W 084° 16.(G-1) (E) (H-1)
