Additional Hints (No hints available.)


2. Identify the Puzzle Code.


A modified version of Morse Code was used for this puzzle.  Here is a Wikipedia link for Morse Code.



Wikipedia - Morse Code





For this puzzle the code was modified as follows:

. = Dot
: = Dash 
Here is the puzzle code for the numbers 0 - 9".


0 = ::::: 
1 = .:::: 
2 = ..::: 
3 = ...:: 
4 = ....: 
5 = ..... 
6 = :.... 
7 = ::... 
8 = :::.. 
9 = ::::.

This string was different than the other sections of the puzzle, and it had the correct number of groupings necessary to solve the coordinates.

....: :.... ::::: ....: ....: :.... :.... ::::: ::::. .:::: ..::: .:::: ..... ..::: ....:

Using the modified Morse Code, solve this string of code.



4 = ....: 
6 = :.... 
0 = ::::: 
4 = ....: 
4 = ....: 
6 = :.... 
6 = :....
0 = ::::: 
9 = ::::. 
1 = .:::: 
2 = ..::: 
1 = .:::: 
5 = ..... 
2 = ..::: 
4 = ....:


3.  Put together the Solved Coordinates.


Using the solved string of modified Morse Code, put the Solved Coordinates together.


Solved Coordinates:



   N 46°04.466 W 091°21.524   


4.  Verify the Solved Coordinates.


Verify the Solved Coordinates using GeoChecker.

5.  Decode the rest of the puzzle.


If you want the pleasure of decoding the rest of the puzzle, here is the modified Morse Code Alphabet.



A = .: 
B = :... 
C = :.:. 
D = :.. 
E = . 
F = ..:. 
G = ::. 
H = .... 
I = .. 
J = .::: 
K = :.: 
L = .:.. 
M = :: 
N = :. 
O = ::: 
P = .::. 
Q = ::.: 
R = .:. 
S = ... 
T = : 
U = ..: 
V = ...: 
W = .:: 
X = :..: 
Y = :.:: 
Z = ::..

Use the modified Morse Code to solve the Puzzle.
