Geocache Description:

 

This simple puzzle cache is meant to test your orienteering skills. You are given the starting point and number of meters to 4 points of a perfect square, the cache is in the center of the square but you will need to be “Smarter than the average Bear” to find Yogi’s Pic-A-Nic basket.


 

 

The published co-ordinates are the starting position for this cache (it is Yogi Bear’s picnic site a gours bush at Sherwood Energy Village (Jellystone Park to you and me) the actual Pic-A-Nic Basket is within 100 meters. 

  • From Yogi’s Gorse Bush travel exactly 100m due West (take a waypoint, call it “Boo Boo”).

  • From Boo Boo travel 100m due South (take a waypoint, call it “Suzie Bear”)

  •  From Suzie Bear travel 100m due East (take a waypoint, call it “Ranger, John Smith”)

Now (including the start) you should have 4 waypoints.  That’s if you didn’t walk into a tree or fall down a hole. Each waypoint should form the corners of a perfect square. 

Now the fun starts:

  • Go to Boo Boo and look at the Ranger, mark a point in the middle.

  • Go to Suzi Bear and look at Yogi's Bush, mark a point in the middle.

k aThat’s it Folks! X marks the spot where you will find the cache (Thats if you have plotted your waypoints correctly).

 

You will need to be “Smarter than the average Bear” to solve this seemingly simple cache.

 

Yogi and Friends say: "Good luck in finding my Pic-A-Nic basket, Boys n Girls!"
