Mystery of Half Moon Lake!

1.  Here is the puzzle.

Geocache Description:

Parking/Boat Ramp Coordinates:

N 44 47.935, W 089 42.432

Posted Coordinates:

WP1 - N 44° 48.070 W 089° 41.996

Several multi-micros lead to a large traditional. Boat, kayak, or canoe are needed during more temperate months.

By far the majority if not all the information for the questions below can be found at Wikipedia and this web site, "scoobyaddicts.com".  

You will explore, scout several islands in Half Moon. The multi's are enclosed in a micro capsule and ARE NOT easy to get too. The final is a large AMMO container. The terrain is nasty at best in places... and agility, balance, a strong heart and stronger arms will prevail to find THE LOST CACHE OF SCOOBY DOO!

Start out at these coords.  N 44.47.935. W 089.42.432. This is the location for a boat ramp, at one of many parks in the Mosinee area!

From here, the cords at the top will be your first "mystery" to solve. It will take you to the only "charted" (named) island in Half Moon. PINE ISLAND! Inside this micro, you will find the cords, (no riddle to solve yet on this one), for the 2nd stage. From here on out... anything is possible.

You will also need to have the following ANSWERS in hand to de-code the next stage once you find it.


Here are the coded answers you will need for the 3RD stage coordinates field-puzzle:

A = What year did the series start? Of that year, use the LAST digit.

B = How many ghosts have escaped the gang? (hint: perfect record as I recall, wink)

C = Of the original series of mysteries, there was a ghost that appeared in deep sea diving gear, HOW many letters are in the LAST name of this ghost?

D = When the series started, how OLD was Scooby Doo?

E = How many HUMAN members of the gang are there?

F = What year was the Mystery Machine made? Of that year, use the LAST digit.

G = How many villians were there in the episode "A Night of Fright is no Delight" ?


Here are questions for the FINAL stage field-puzzle.

A = Once again, how many "ghosts" get away from the gang?

B = What day did the first episode air? Of this DATE, use the FIRST digit. (ex. 09/xx/69)

C = The original series "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" ran for TWO sessions. How many episodes comprised the SECOND season? (HINT: WIKIPEDIA!!)

D = How many letters are in the name of the BREED of dog Scooby Doo is?

E = Find the total number of episodes in the ORIGINAL series run "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" First digit of that number is E. (HINT: same hint as C)

F = Of the first series of adventures, there was one with an outer space theme.  In the title, how many letters are in the LAST name of the episode? (it is also the last name of the ghost)


Additional Hints:

Hint for the 1st stage: TRIPLETS!

Hint for the 2ND stage: You might need to monkey around for this one.

Hint for the 3rd stage: There does exist some SOLID footing, but NOT much.
