Geocache Description:

This is an attempt to make the one of the most difficult cache. The clues are located on one continent and the final cache is located on another continent. Logging this one will require a lot of traveling or collaboration of geocachers in different country, speaking different languages (but I suspect that you can get away with knowing just English :).

By finding all pieces of the puzzle on one continent will give you enough information about the cache on another continent. But there are good news – traveling on each continent is in area which can be covered in less then two hours. So, if you will decide to do this cache as a team project, you can solve it in one weekend spending couple hours traveling around and couple minutes on internet. If you want to do it alone, it will require at least three days filled with intense traveling and it will cost you a bundle. (So, we recommend a team project.) However, if you want to see country you maybe have never been to, we strongly recommend doing it alone. But you will think you did not leave the Czech republic when you will reach the final location :).

Hint: As is evident from the title of the cache, this is the "twin" project, it means that there is just the opposite situation on the other continent - just find the continent, country, town and coordinates and there may be geocacher ready to help you with this one. You will quickly find the continent and country where the final cache is located after you will get the first clue :)

In order to get the coordinates of the final cache, you have to collect the clues around the city of Prague.

The cache is located at:
N/S? GB°MR.IJP
E/W? FQ°EA.DNR

Substitute the letters with the bold numbers or letters – if it is a letter, substitute it for the letter´s position in alphabet (26 letters)

* The world famous rock´n´roll singer (used to be a truck driver :) released one album, which is somehow connected with our hobby. In which year? QQQR (HINT: it´s a live album)

Important note: If you are prefering the team work, go and get all the clues, then contact the geocacher in the area where the final cache is located. Let him find the cache, then ask him to check the twin cache page and get all the clues for the final cache placed in Czech Republic. Once you will get them, you can find the cache here and both of you can log your finds.

Please note, that one cacher can help only to another one cacher, we are trying to encourage the cooperation among more people :)
If you need to check the solved coordinates before sending your colleague overseas to the final place, do not hesitate to write me and I can tell you, if they are correct or not. Good luck!
