Welcome to the GEO-EYE SERIES!
This series consists of 45 puzzle caches. We incorporated various difficulty levels. All the caches that form the PUPIL of the eye (P1 to P6) will be the harder ones. The IRIS caches (I01 to I16) will be of intermediate difficulty, and the EYE outline (E01 to E23) will be easy ones.
And then to collect the smilies, we recommend high clearance vehicles. Especially during the rainy season, as the roads can get very muddy. But then again, that is part of all the fun!
Each puzzle will start with an eye fact, followed by the puzzle. There might be clues hidden in the eye fact :-)
EYE FACT
Blinking Eyes Send a Morse Code Message
Jeremiah Denton, a pilot with the rank of U.S. Navy Commander during the Vietnam War, was flying his bomber off the carrier USS Independence when he was shot down on July 18, 1965.
At the time of the shoot-down, Denton was leading an attack on a military installation in North Vietnam.
Captured by the North Vietnamese, he was a prisoner of war in Hanoi for seven years and seven months. Denton spent much of that time in solitary confinement.
He, and ten others, were kept in a special prison which the American POWs dubbed “Alcatraz.” Known as one of the “Alcatraz 11,” Denton occupied Cell No. 10.
About ten months after his capture, Denton became part of a propaganda campaign for North Vietnam. On the 2nd of Mary, 1966, a Japanese journalist interviewed him for a television broadcast.
Although his captors had instructed Denton to answer the journalist’s questions in a particular way, Jeremiah followed his own mind and expressed his own thoughts. Even though he knew he’d be tortured later, the Navy Commander said that he supported his government and whatever actions they took.
Denton used his eyes to communicate with Morse Code what he could never say with his voice. In this video clip, you can see him spell-out these dots (“DI”) and dashes (“DAH”):
DAH DAH-DAH-DAH DI-DAH-DI DAH DI-DI-DAH DIT
What is the meaning of that string of Morse Code? It spells-out the word “torture.”
Denison's eye-blinking Morse-Code message was the first confirmation American military leaders had that U.S. prisoners of war were being tortured by the North Vietnamese.
Here is a link to the video of the message that was sent. This video is not needed to solve the puzzle. https://www.awesomestories.com/media/user/6b74abf15e.mp4
* The cache is not the posted coordinates *
To obtain the final coordinates, you will have to solve the puzzle below... easy does it... no blinking required!
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
