Legend says… A sheep herder named
Kaldi started it all in Ethiopia sometime in the last millennium.
He wanted to know what could be responsible for the “queer antics
of his flock.” Fearing his sheep possessed, Kaldi paid close
attention and watched his herd nibble red berries from the branch
of a strange tree. When he sampled the berry himself, he felt a
surge of exhilaration and rushed to tell the local Imam. That night
the two shared a concoction made of the berries, pranced around,
and generally got pretty tanked on caffeine. When they finally
dozed off, Mohammed appeared to the Imam and said the berries
enhanced wakefulness and wakefulness promoted prayer. Prayer,
counseled Mohammed, was better than sleep…
Queer antics are also better than sleep. Celebrate the
miracle of coffee, and amidst your own antics offer an ablution to
pdx55 - one of Praxis Caffeine’s favorite minions. Happy
birthday pdx55!
To find this cache, you must first visit
these first 3 stages to gather the information for the final
location.
Stage 1: N37° 33.772' W122° 19.436'
A = Number of the address of this coffee shop
Stage 2: N37º 33.915' W122º 19.358'
B = The 4 digit number on the green parking meter directly
in front of the door of this coffee shop. Note: GPS signals varied
wildly here - you are not looking for Petes Cafe. Alternate
coords: N37° 33.928' W122° 19.357'
Stage 3: N37º 33.979' W122º 19.364'
C = The 7 digit number of the gas meter with the address
217A in front of this cafe (there are 7 digits followed by an "X")
GPS signals varied wildly here too, maybe because of all the
buildings. Alternate coords: N37° 33.989' W122° 19.356'
Final stage: N37° 34.X' W122° 19.0Y', where
X = last three digits of B minus A minus
91
Y = add the 7 digits of C and add 50.
Checksum: sum of the three digits in X = 16; sum of the two digits
in Y=12.
The cache is camo taped and contains a geocache note, logsheet,
pencil, and some coffee related trinkets and other small trade
items.
