TRIBUTES17 : Dork-O-Naut 2 : Legend Mystery Cache

Click to see a bookmark list of the original Toponaut Caches. Meet the original Toponaut creator, Serrabou aka Dorky Rooster.

Each cache in the TRIBUTES17 series can be found individually, but make sure you collect the clue inside. You'll need it to find the TRIBUTES17 BONUS!
Each 3 character clue is hidden in plain sight in each container and is in the format 'Z = A1!'.
Details can be found on the BONUS cache page : GC7CXFE.

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. This is the second of a three-cache series where you will not really use a hand-drawn topographical map, but still flail about certain features in the woods. There are trails to get you close and bushwhacking is minimal. Please try to stay on the trail as much as possible. The total mileage will vary depending on your interpretation of my interpretation.

Dork-O-Naut 2 : Legend

To find this cache, you must first retrieve the clue from Dork-O-Naut 1 : Rooster (of Doom).

Inside this cache, you will find a clue needed to search for Dork-O-Naut 3 : Supreme Dork of All Time & Space.

The code for TRIBUTES17 is located in Dork-O-Naut 3 : Supreme Dork of All Time & Space.

This series needs to be done in sequence to retrieve clues to continue.

NEEDFUL THINGS :

• A color printout of the topo map can be found in the Gallery. Each cache page has a zoomed-in portion of the big map but they won't help much. It'll give you a general idea but everything you need will be handed to you. These three Dork-O-Naut caches bleed into each other.
• A SmartPhone with internet access and the ability to scan a QR code
• The knowledge of how to project a waypoint using your GPS device
• Nimble friends if you are uneasy with climbing and balance
• Dorky paraphernalia

TO BEGIN :

Navigate to the red star. You'll know exactly where to go after finding Dork-O-Naut 1.

.

Primer (The red star was placed more as a token item.)

1. Head north. That's where the red star is.
2. When the blue trail splits, head to the right.
3. You should know where you're heading if you completed Dork-O-Naut 1.
4. You're looking for a relic. Sorta.

Some other notes:

• For all three Dork-O-Nauts, the stages are a mix of projections, straight-up coordinates or simple puzzles.
• It's probably not a good idea to go for this cache if it's raining or snowing.
• At the final of Dork-O-Naut 2, be sure to scan the tag but DON'T take it with you! You'll need to follow the tag's directions in order to proceed to Dork-O-Naut 3 : Supreme Dork of All Time & Space.
• This cache involves the use of a VERY strong magnet. Please use care and keep in mind that it came with a warning for people with pacemakers.
• Please return all items before moving on or I will haunt you in the afterlife.
