Geocache Description:

I've been wanting to put out a power trail for some time now and I finally got around to making it happen. The trail consists of 22 caches that are either traditional or mystery type caches. All are in the theme of "Culinary Herbs and Spices".


The caches in this series are not park-n-go's. They are best done by biking or parking your cache mobile and searching for them on foot.

Please do not rotate caches, each one is uniquely hidden and labeled.

As always, be mindful of traffic and muggles.

If you chose to use your cache mobile please park where it is safe and legal.

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates.

In order to find the cache you must first solve the puzzle below:

N 38 40.ABC

A. dracunculus oil contains predominantly phenylpropanoids such as methyl chavicol ((A)6.2%)

B. allo-ocimene (4.(B)%)

C. The leaves are lanceolate, 2-(C)in long... (-1)

W 121 15.DEF

D. Tarragon is used to flavor a popular carbonated soft drink in this country and it also originally comes from here. (D) (First letter)

E. limonene (12.(E)%)

F. Estragole concentration in fresh tarragon leaves is about 29(F)0 mg/kg.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
