Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the posted coordinates instead solve the hard mystery below to obtain the cache coordinates.

The difficulty is for the puzzle, the hide is a 2D.

This geocache was placed in coordination with the Going Caching Crew in support of Going Caching 2023.


My name is Ragnar Stormheart and I landed on this island from the south-west corner. I explored the island for nine days. The island is a mysterious place, full of highs and lows, but it feels balanced in a way that I cannot explain.

Here is a map I made for you, marking eight of the different trails I walked on.  The walk up each trail was rough as they had no flat parts, and were always going up, sometimes gradual, sometimes very steep. The rocks on the map, at the end of each trail, mark the highest points I could reach, but sometimes there were even higher points nearby. The fact that the temperature rose throughout the day didn't help either on my journeys. I didn't find any treasure, but hopefully this map will help you find treasure some day.

In honor of Ragnar Stormheart, I am using his map to give you the coordinates of a geocache. You are looking for the last 4 digits of the latitude and longitude.
