Geocache Description:


Boardwalk Tour II

This one is somewhat different- PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!
The POSTED coords are for PARKING ONLY - this is NOT a stage.


Here is another tour of the 1 mile long Rehoboth Beach boardwalk, where so many people like to stroll. It is an 8 stop multi tour (including final) and can be done by walking, bicycling, or driving- although it is designed as a walking or cycling tour. It is approximately 2 miles one way from start to finish, but can be done in any order. If you park at the posted coords (limited free parking- OFF SEASON ONLY) and walk or cycle, the round trip is just under 3 miles. From May 15 to Sept. 15, cycling on the boardwalk is limited to daybreak to 10 AM. All waypoints are included for direct download.

8/23/19- To avoid confusion, both the coords and the question for Stage 7 was changed. The answer for Stage 7 stays the same. Remainder of puzzle not changed.

12/14/23- Due to construction, both the coords and the question for Stage 3 were changed. The answer for Stage 3 stays the same. Remainder of puzzle not changed.

Cache Information:

At each waypoint, you will be looking for a word or a number (spell out any number). The directions will lead you to a particular letter of the alphabet. Translate that letter into a number via A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. Substitute the numbers for the symbols into the coords listed for the final.

Very limited parking is close at all sites, although this may be very difficult during the summer months and during that time period parking is NOT free. Please- NO SPOILERS in your logs or photos!

Good Luck and Have fun!
