Geocache Description:



Turkish Lira

The Turkish Lira is the currency of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (recognised only by Turkey). The Turkish lira is subdivided into 100 kuruş. After the last vestige of the ancient Roman Empire collapsed with the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans, today's Turkish State Mint was founded by Mehmed II. The first golden coin was minted in the name of "The Conqueror" in 1467. Ottoman lira remained in circulation until the end of 1927. Historical banknotes from the second, third and fourth issues have portraits of İsmet İnönü on the obverse side. This change was done according to the 12 January 1926 issue of the official gazette and canceled by the Democrat Party after World War II.



A 2-stage multicache with a little driving in between.
At stage one gather the info for the coordinates: N 42° 52.ABC W 85° 41.ZYX

1. Take the number of letters on the yellow diamond sign and Multiply them by 24.5. That is ABC.
2. Subtract the total number of large white letters on the park's sign from 935. That is ZYX.

These new coordinates are for the trailhead. Walk North up the trail from there until you find the collapsed fence. Search there.
