Geocache Description:


Lechon is a Christmas specialty in many different countries, but it is especially important in Puerto Rico. The roast suckling pig dish is prepared on a spit and can take quite a long time to prepare — hence why it’s especially popular for special meals like Christmas. The pig is roasted on full display and is often everyone's favorite part of the Christmas holiday.
 



Welcome to a three stage multi-cache.  So get some paper and let's get started....

Stage 1:

Look at the photo of the roast suckling pig dish from Puerto Rico above and answer the following.

N42 5A.BCD W85 4W.XYZ

A = Number of ears that you can see.

B = Number of pigs in the photo.

C = Number of bowls + tails

D = Number of forks in the photo.

W = Number of ears that you can see.

X = Number of bowls + number of spoons in bowls + tails

Y = Mouths + tails

Z = Number of bowls + number of spoons in bowls + number of ears visible

Check sum: A+B+C+D+W+X+Y+Z = 26

Stage 2:

Look for the sign at the new coordinates and answer the following questions.  Use the English side, starting with the letter E.

N42 5E.FGH W85 4S.TUV

E = First digit of the park address.

F = Number of letters in the missing word of the phrase, "Por favor de _____ los excrementos de su animal".

G = Number of letters in the next word of the phrase, "solo en las calles ______".

H = Third digit of park address.

S = How many types of things "may become injuried"?

T = Number of letters in the missing word of the phrase, "pueden herir o ser _____ con los seres".

U = Number of letters in third word on the Spanish version of the sign.

V = Number of letters in the missing word of the phrase, "Humanos cuando se les da alimentos _____ son perturbados".

Check sum: E+F+G+H+S+T+U+V = 13+14 = 27
