THE CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES. Solve the riddle to locate the actual cache. A good sized ammo can. Please only attempt during the day, watch out for snakes, and, of course, DO NOT CROSS ANY FENCES.

Get out your Bibles and remember your order of operations. I used an NIV Bible, so no translation errors. This will still keep you around the Bethune Cross area, just down a little different road.

N:

1. Number of commandments and multiply by the number of horsemen in the apocalypse subtract the number of Jaob's sons sold into slavery in Egypt.

2. Take the number of days it rained on Noah and divide by how may theives were on the cross next to Jesus add the number of days it took God to make the world (rest is included.)

3. Number of Gideon's men that drank from cupped hands subtract the number of golden bowls counted by Mithredath to Sheshbazzar that belonged in the temple add days it took Christ to rise.

W:

1. Age Seth became the father of Enosh subtract how many sons were with Noah on the ark.

2. Number of people on the ship with Paul when it wrecked minus which seal of Judgment causes the massive earthquake. Cross off the digit that is Joshua's father.

3. Silver Judas received for betraying Christ times the age Christ was when he began His ministry. Subtract number of desciples times number of times Peter denys Christ. Subtract the number of sets of brothers that Jesus calls times the number of woes Jesus predicts on the scribes and pharisees.

On a geocaching road trip with geodog, Spartacus. We appreciate all the work you did for this geoart. This was a fun puzzle. Thanks for the placement, ColoradoKids!

A D4.5 puzzle--not sure it would be worth the time--but hey, I learned half this stuff in childhood so it turned out to be pretty easy. Between Sunday School and Google, I was pretty sure I had it. Sure enough, there was a nice big ammo box at the predicted spot, and it's in good shape. No travel bugs in it, but then, it's found infrequently enough that I'm not sure I would leave one here. Anyway, fun puzzle and TFTC!

Nice to get a ammo box out here! Caching with EstesLynne along the Cross power trail. TFTC

Wow! Two years lonely!
I always worry when these relatively remote caches are both puzzles and lonely without a puzzle checker, but no such problems today. The coords were perfect and the ammo can in great shape.

Attempted to solve this one but I ended up at someone's house. Nice friendly dog though. I hate these mystery caches without a geochecker.

This was a quick cache and dash with my three geohounds. We cached our way from Denver to Ellis,KS. TFTC SL.

Picked up a TB that was only a laminated sheet with the tracking number. Geocoin gone. Enjoyable day finding the Bethune Cross caches today. Replaced many soaked logsheets with new logsheets in plastic bags and one container. Thanks for the placements.

Are we there yet?

I think I asked that question a dozen times while on the way to this cache. Snowdog promised that this would be the last one of the day. Mouse Jockey and myself cracked up, either from lack of sleep, or because it was genuinely funny. Snowdog finding one last cache? No way.

Anyways, we honed in on one tree and there it was. Thanks so much for placing it. It's nice to find an ammo can after it hasn't been found for so long.
