This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES
But it'll do for wandering around aimlessly

This one goes out to all the programmers out there. You know who you are (though some of you might not admit it.) This is the fourth in a series, and this time is...classic. I got the idea from Mrs. Zooming Boomers, though she may not realize this.
