Geocache Description:


cwm16

As with most mystery caches the cache container is not at the posted coordinates.
This mystery cache cache can be completed by doing a field puzzle or using a CHIRP beacon.

Field Puzzle
At the posted coordinates there is a sign with two words on it. Go to the sign and count the letters in each word.
X = the number of letters in the first word
Y = the number of letters in the second word
Note: X + Y is greater than 15. (Make sure you picked the correct sign!)
The coordinates of the field puzzle is at N 42° 5.A B C' W 83° 26.D E F'
A = X - 7
B = Y + 1
C = X/2
D = Y - 2
E = X + Y - 15
F = (10 + 4)/2
Check sum of the six digits = 33

CHIRP Beacon method
Located near the posted coordinates is a CHIRP Beacon. This method requires a GPS device that will accept CHIRP beacon signals. Go to the posted coordinates and turn on the CHIRP receiver in your GPS device.
CHIRP will provide you with the coordinates of the final stage.

Admission to Crosswinds Marsh is free!
