Geocache Description:


This series of caches dedicated to two groups of people. The first group is the people at the post office who began using what we now know as the ZIP code. The second group are the software designers who gave us all the power to search out geocaches in a given area by the ZIP code. To these people I give my never ending thanks.

There are a couple of reasons why this series has this title but I won't let you know. When you find them let me know why you think I named them "Top Spots" by sending me an email. I'll let you know if you are right.

None of the Top Spots caches are large enough to hold a pen at this time so please be sure to bring your own.

This is an offset cache. At one time there was a payphone at this location. It has been removed. Right near here there is a large telephone pole with a metal tag on it. The number is 09-0XXYY. The formula for calculating the final is this:

AA=80-XX

BB=99-YY

The final coordinates are: N44 16.AA5 W88 45.BB3.

Congratulations to huffinpuffin2 for being FTF!
