Geocache Description:

A Baker's Dozen


Like The Gang of Ten, this cache was inspired by Micro Multi Cache by The Jester. As Jester observed with Micro Multi “too bad you don’t get credit for 9 finds solving this one”. Unlike Micro Multi, you do get credit for finding the “waypoints” leading to the final. Unlike The Gang of Ten, the difficulty is much lower to conquer the entire series.

As the name implies, this is a cache series consisting of a dozen individual caches. This cache is the thirteenth and final cache in the series. As you hunt and find each of the caches you will find, both in the log book and on the cache container itself a letter and number in the form “A=n”, where “n” is the number. You will need all of these letters and numbers to find the final.

The Caches

  1. GCVJHZ: Crossword Cache

  6. GCVJJ6: Bus Stop Cache

The Final

The final cache can be found at the coordinates:

     N  47° AB.CDE'
     W 122° FG.HJK'

Where C = L + M, and H = N + P.

That's “all there is” to it! The final cache is located on a short interpretive trail called “The Pretzel Tree Trail”. Be sure to bring the kids and look for the pretzel tree! The cache is about 20 feet from the trail itself but no bushwacking is required.

I hope you have as much completing the series as I had putting it together. Good luck and happy caching!
