For those who are tired of "park and grab" caches, this should provide the adventure you're looking for. Provides awesome scenic views, highly recommend doing on a clear day!
This is a four stage Multi-Cache with one challenge you will have to solve in order to find the final cache.
The first two stages of this cache are small containers with only the coordinates of the next stage. Your first hint is that these are place strategically to guide you on your way to the final two stages. So if they appear to be at the beginning of a road or at a trail head, you should take that into consideration. The third stage is the namesake of this cache and once you have found it you will need to reference it to solve the following puzzle, which will lead you to the final cache which lays nearby.
FILL IN THE BLANK
N 43 48.__4'
W 111 __.7__'
1ST BLANK: Year of Smokey's death (two digits).
2ND BLANK: Century in which Smokey lived.
3RD BLANK: Smokey's age at death, plus 35.
If your answer to this puzzle is more than .03 mi from the monument, then you have miscalculated. Email me with the coordinates you've come up with if you have problems and I will try to lead you straight. Good Luck
Congratulations goes to Firebird75 for First to Find and also for Solving Smokey's Challenge. For solving this challenge Firebird75 received an unactivated trackable Independence Day 2007 geocoin.
