This is a puzzle cache. The physical cache is not at the above listed coordinates.
In order to locate the cache you must find the true coordinates by figuring out the steps required that will reveal the cache location to you. Good luck.


This is one of fourteen caches that make up the Western Sky portion of the Path of the Zodiac series of caches. Thirteen of the caches composing this portion represent the thirteen constellations that occupies the ecliptic that defines the Western Zodiac. The fourteenth cache, Path of the Zodiac: The Western Sky, can only be located after the initial thirteen caches in the portion have been located and the clues they contain gathered. The order in which these thirteen caches are found does not matter, but finding all of them is a requirement to seek out and log the fourteenth cache.



The constellation of Pisces is often depicted as two fish bound together by twine tied around their tails. One myth states that while Aphrodite and Eros were being pursued by the monstrous Typhus they turned into a pair of fish to escape. So they wouldn't be seperated they tied a piece of string between themselves.

It should be no surprise that there is something fishy about the Riddle of Pisces. Hopefully you are up to the challenge.




THE RIDDLE OF PISCES

Where do Red Herring Live?




When you find the cache remember to record the clue contained inside the container. You'll need it if you are looking to complete the full series.



Outside of providing a coordinate checker for each puzzle, I will not give personal help, hints, etcetera until the whole of the Path of the Zodiac series have been completed by a few cachers. It's the only fair way to do it as completing this series should be considered something of an accomplishment and making it to the end should go to those who make it there on their own devices. Cachers that have worked out a puzzle are discouraged from giving much away if asked for help in order to keep up the level of challenge provided by this series.

Finally got this one solved! Love the series. Thanks for all the work you put into creating it. Have one more left to solve. Need to make it back out that way sometime to find the rest.

Another fun one. It took a little while to find the starting point but once I did it was pretty quick to finding the answer. Cache wise this one has taken me a little deeper in and I'm about as high up as I'm likely to get since I know the others are in the lands below. TFTC, loving the series and the hike, worth the trip here.
