Watershed Down Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Follow a maze, read and record the sequence of authors' names, and use the sequence numbers to decode the coordinates of the actual Cache location.

The listed Coordinates take you to a self titled Labyrinth (maze) etched in the cement. You start at the entry of the maze and follow the path until it ends at the center of the circle. Along the way there are 12 quotations by 12 different authors. Using the list below, record the sequence number for each author as you walk the maze. The first author you encounter is sequence #1, the next is #2, then #3 etc... until you reach the final author (#12) etched into the center stone.

Since the sequence #’s must all be single digits, subtract 10 from any 2-digit number (10 becomes 0, 11 becomes 1, 12 becomes 2)

When you have all the sequence #’s assigned to each author, plug those numbers into these coordinates to find the actual Cache location:

N ak° bd.cef
W bje° gl.jgh


Enter sequence # into the [ ]
(remember to subtract 10 from double digit numbers!!)

a = [ ] Hal Boyle
b = [ ] St. Bernard of Clairvaux
c = [ ] Rachel Carson
d = [ ] Kenneth Grahame
e = [ ] Julia Butterfly Hill
f = [ ] John Muir
g = [ ] Lynn Noel

Good Luck!
