This is a simple but interesting three stage puzzle geocache. Upon completing this geocache, you will see how the future James Bond 047 will enter the State Fair through a perimeter weakness that only he could risk attempting. The cache is at the very last spot at the very last second where he can attempt this.
RECOMMENDED PARKING: N 38° 35.216 W 121° 25.276
BICYCLE IS RECOMMENDED: Distance from Stage #1 to Stage #3 is .8 miles. HIKING is good too!
Time Machine Log #22393933934-4-3333:
After James Bond 007, there was James Bond 008. Then there was James Bond 009. And then James Bond 010. Then James Bond 011, 012, 013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 018, 019, 020, 021, 022, and 023. After that came James Bond 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, 029, 030, 031, 032, 033, 034, 035, 036, 037, 038, 039, 040, 041, 042, 043, 044, 045, 046 and then 47JamesBond47!
Stage #1: Go to the coordinates listed at the top of this page.
From those coordinates you can see words. Put the letters of those words into the blank spaces of the following coordinates. Make sure you put the letters in the same order as you see them.
N38 35._ _ _ W121 2_._ _ _
Now translate those letters into numbers using the following decoder:
A=9 B=7 C=3 D=8 E=6 F=4 G=6 H=1 I=3 J=2 K=5 L=8 M=4 N=8 O=3 P=4 Q=5 R=1 S=6 T=7 U=3 V=7 W=6 X=1 Y=5 Z=5
Go to those decoded coordinates.
Stage 2: Look for a series of numbers. Follow the numbers in the direction in which they get smaller and smaller until they get to number........ (Opps...The secret paper my notes are on is torn. The message ends at this point...Darn!!!)
Stage 3: I don't know how you are going to get to this final stage without the rest of those torn notes. Oh Well...just in case you do, let me explain where you are.
In the future, 47JamesBond47 will come running down into this area with his girlfriend under one arm and a bad guy under the other. He does this just as a local transportation vehicle comes by. The vehicle goes just ever so slightly outside the perimeter of the State Fair. That's all Bond47 needs. He will hurl the bad guy into the fence, jump up with his free hand grasping the moving vehicle and swing himself and his squeeze up in a circle and down into the roof opening of the vehicle. He ends up in a seat kissing you know who. Inside the State Fair he catches the bad guys and saves the world at the last minute like always.
YOU ARE NOW AT THE CACHE SITE: The container looks like a meter. Please return it that way.
(Jeo. Please return the Time Machine when you are done.)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Find Hynr and Teachermom's nearby geocache, Expo Farm and Coon Hound's geocache Bart VI.
Have fun!
