Geocache Description:

Part ONE of a ten-cache series to honor TeamAlamo's achievment of hitting 10,000 caches found and becoming the top male geocacher of all time. Visit all ten to find the coordinates for the final tribute cache!


The Series:

There are ten caches in this series. Each cache contains one-tenth of a $10,000 bill with a number on it. When you visit each cache, note the location of the bill segment and the number on the bill. Use these ten numbers to find the final cache!

A bit of history - Lee's 1st cache:

who would have known that first cache would have sparked a legacy!

the first time I ever saw lee caching it was the day of a BADGES event in cupertino, forman and I were looking for a new micro cache and DURING our search Lee managed to slip in, find it, sign the log, and ALMOST make it back into his car before we ever knew anyone had found it! I just noticed a blur out of the corner of my eye!

This cache:

on angel island, stay on the paved road till you are within 250 feet or so... then take the "trail" down to zero, I think the other cachers may have tried to go straight at it...

I was so excited to get this one placed and approved I actually "jumped the gun" and blew the surprise of the series, hence the name, AKA "gun jumper"
