This bonus geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

The final location is in a front yard with permission.

To find this cache it will help if you’ve read the book or seen the movie – or can phone a lifeline who has.

But with some thought you can solve the puzzle out without having read/seen it.

“There was every orb conceivable on that tomb except one. The orb which fell from the heavens and inspired Newton's life's work. Work that incurred the wrath of the Church... until his dying day.

The papyrus you seek is deep within its core.

First, you will need the Adventure Lab app available from the app store on your smartphone.

You will then need to complete the "The Di Vinci Cache" Adventure Lab in order to get the final coordinates and physical container.

Special Thanks to "black_jack" for her inspiration and permission to recreate

"The DaVinci Cache" as a Adventure Lab.

You will have 5 stops to complete before you receive the coordinates.  You may retrieve the coordinates at any time after you have completed the tour by viewing the journal of the "The Di Vinci Cache" Adventure Lab series.  It will be listed on the final entry.

The difficulty rating of this cache reflects the additional legwork required to unlock the final coordinates, actual hide difficulty is 1.5.

This bonus cache, and the associated Adventure Lab are certainly favorite point worthy. I usually don’t like linear Adventure Labs but for this one it was perfect. This bonus was excellent and I received a double bonus by meeting the CO and chatting with him and his mom. Thanks for the great Adventure and cache!

This was day 8, the last, of my CO/KS/MO #geocachingroadtrip. Originally I was coming out to attend Mingo Madness, which got 2020ed (twice). I figured I would still make the trip so I could finish up my Jasmer, get some other old caches, great gadget caches, and highly favorited caches.
I started out the morning with an event and then picked up some challenge caches. Then, based on a discussion at the event, I headed down to Denver and completed the DaVinci Code Adventure Lab and it’s bonus cache. Both were excellent. While I was logging the cache the CO came out and we had a nice chat. On their recommendation I went down to The Fields of Valor Adventure Lab which was also excellent. All this took just long enough to that I had time to gas up the rental and head to the airport. Perfect! It was a good end to my #geocachingroadtrip.

Although geocaching won't allow it, I'll explain why this cache deserved more than one favorite point.
1. It's a bonus cache from an Adventure lab.
2. The Adventure Lab is creative, fun, and the answers are easily available.
3. The bonus cache is a great container.
4. Answer concealed to not give a spoiler.

Seems worthy of 4 favorite points, but unfortunately I can give only one. We chatted with the CO for a while before finishing our caching day and heading east toward home.
This was a great Sunday of geocaching. We started with an amazing event with friends, spent a while caching in Denver finding caches that have popped up over the past half year, then went for an Adventure Lab in Lakewood. While doing it we ran into 2 more cachers! Why not finish the day off with the bonus cache, too?
Great fun finding caches, chatting with friends, and making a few new ones!

We headed out to go do The Davinci lab caches along with a multi cache "I am Woman hear me roar-Clara Cressingham" that was close by. We really had a great time doing this set of lab caches. A well thought out very nicely done series. We had a couple of those DOH! moments solving some of the questions. But all in all, we had a great time. Got the coords for the final and off we went. We arrived at GZ and tried to be stealthy but was caught by IvyDog Parents trying to sneak back to the geo-mobile with the cache in hand. What an awesome cache, we have done a couple of these types of caches like this,but not one like this, it was AWESOME!!! Now I see why its hidden here We sat and had a nice long chat about history and geocaching and then parted ways. Thanks for the awesome lab cache series!!! SL,TFTC

This one definitely gets a fav pt.+

We met Lost in Denver while doing the lab and Joe Friday when doing the bonus. We had a delightful time doing this cache.
