Geocache Description:

"And they said ...

"...let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven ... And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do....let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech... Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth."

....

And so the confusion began; and here is my contribution.

....

This is a multi waypoint Geocache where each intermediate location has a mini-cache container holding a cryptic clue to the following waypoint. The resolved clue will give you two four digit integer numbers between 1000 and 9999, ABCD and EFGH (no fractions involved).

The next cache location is then always at:

S 34° 0H.GFE'

E 151° 0D.CBA'

The co-ordinates given for this cache do not take you to WP1, just nearby. The clue to the right is the first of four that will lead you to the final cache location. Be aware that some locations are difficult, but not dangerous; hazardous but not perilous. Geokids will need assistance at one spot.
