As I pondered putting out a couple more in this series for the combination Flag Day and Fathers Day weekend coming up, I began thinking about how popular a cache like this might be.
Turns out I am not the first to place a cache like this nor the last and they have popped up all over the country. However, when I checked today (6.1.08) there were only 4 others in the States that came close to this series in a particular sense. As of today, 4.15.18 there are 6 "others" that fit the flag raising criteria (one of which is singular in nature).
If you can find those, determine where they are in the pictured flag rack (numbered L-R and using the last digit for double digits) and assign the letters A-F to the 6 digits you find. Plug them into this coordinate N44°14.EC(+5)A W88°25.BDF(-2), and you will find the cache.
UPDATE 6.29.08: Well, I certainly didn't take into consideration that a cache name would change, but I should know better as I modify mine all the time.
UPDATE 4.7.10: Worked out the new discoveries and updated the clue for this head-scratcher.
UPDATE 4.15.18: A lot can change in ten years, including puzzle elements for a successful solve. Cache solve coordinates updated and new Geoccheck added.
Pick the Right Ones?
