Geocache Description:

Geo Giraffes have their 33rd hide and FIRST mystery cache!!!  Maybe you can find the cache, but can you unlock it????  We put together this combination lock. You need 5 numbers, in the correct order to unlock and open the cache.  First to find will get a trackable named Captain Boullete! Please keep this trackable and its tag along moving!!!!

 


Used with permission of the Orrville Railroad Society, Roger Scott.  Only look at the photos if you want the spoilers.  We want you to find it with the clues, but if you can't- then look at the photos.   Please re-scramble to lock for the next person. You can follow Geo Giraffes on Facebook too.  We love this sport and the adventures it takes us on!!  Watch out for mugglers.   Bring paper and pencil - you'll need to do some math

#1 add the Chicago mileage, use the first number.

#2 add the Columbus mileage, use that number

#3 last # of the Hudson mileage

#4 second # of when the Orrville Union Depot was built

#5 add the Pittsburgh mileage 

Use the whole numbers when adding- we did NOT use the fractions!!!!

Don't force the combination- it will open right up- if you have the numbers right!!! We actually have two caches here- sign one or both. We replaced the one because we thought it was lost, but the staff moved it. So we hope you can solve the mystery one!!! But near it is also the easy one too
