I have had a puzzle cache haunting me for the past month or so, a geocache called "3rd Base or Bike Trail" (GC17RBH) was the unfound cache closest to my house. Today, I was staring at it yet again and it FINALLY occured to me how to solve it. Once I figured it out, I entered the coordinates on Google Earth and I knew right where it was hidden on one of the trails by my house...the dogs needed their walk anyway and it was only .25 mile away. The geocache was boring, a cammo'd pill bottle, and was much easier to find than solve the puzzle. Yay, glad to get this one off my list!
For your reference, this was the puzzle:
1102 1111.210101 11111 22.20212
Can you figure it out? Don't post an answer if you do...wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone.
Highlights of my geocaching adventures...some days it's all about the numbers, some days it's not...
What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook and "treasure," usually toys or trinkets of little value. Today, well over 480,000 geocaches are registered on various websites devoted to the sport. Geocaches are currently placed in over 100 countries.
