Third in my "geo netics" series, where we get to learn about genetics and geo cache at the same time!

Congratulations to hiking_fool on FTF!!

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find the true location you'll need to learn about some common, and not so common (but all real) disorders. While the disease demographics and afflicted areas are all different, they all share one thing in common.

Cache is at:

N alkaptonuria, galactosemia, ZERO, Kallman syndrome, POINT, ZERO, Milroy disease, Friedreich ataxia

W Jackson Weiss syndrome, cherubism, Huntington disease, narcolepsy, POINT, cerebral cavernous malformation, Refsum disease, Crohn disease

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

On a fun cache run with my mom this to end the year while the weather is nice! I didn’t realize how few geocaches I found this year! Guess that will be part of my resolutions. Thanks for placing and maintaining this awesome cache for us to find!

Finally solved this one two days ago and made the find. Thanks!

Quick stop here after the star wars event to nab some of the local caches. This one was in great shape but man I could not see it for anything. After about 10 minutes I found it and then I have no clue how I could have missed it. Thanks for the fun puzzle and great hide!

- Q: What do you get if you mix a bounty hunter with a tropical fruit?
A: Mango Fett!

One half of Landltexas had solved the puzzle previously, so we looked for (and found) this cache and a couple of nearby ones while waiting for the Air Force Academy to open. Thanks!
