Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE PUZZLE BELOW TO GET THE LOCATION.

NOTE: There is now a number written in the lid in the format LLMB: x with x being the number you need. A bonus cache for this series will be published soon, so please start collecting and saving them if you are interested. I will also respond to email requests for the number if you lose it or forget to write it down as long as you have logged the cache.

UPDATE 2/14/11 - Cache has been moved (again) to a totally different type of hide that will hopefully withstand floods and puzzle updated. Thanks to SGT Fleming for help getting the new coords!

This is the first in what I hope to be a series of Lisa Loves Musicals caches. Each one holds a special place in my heart. They will all be movies or plays somebody in my family has performed in or performed a number from. I wanted to start with South Pacific because it is the dearest to me of all of them. My daughter and I sang Happy Talk and Honey Bun together, with costumes, in a fundraiser show, and she went on to perform this piece in other venues as well.

The questions are based on the 1958 movie. They shouldn't be too hard. You will breeze right through it if you are familiar with the movie or a little work on Google should yield you the rest.

When you go to find the cache, please try to use the small footpaths in the area and respect the plants that have been marked. Container is a camo'd circular container. BYOP. Also, please cover the cache back up well or I fear it won't last. Nothing too exciting for the FTF (sorry) but I did include one of my new little crafty signature items. Access from the residential area, not the nearby busy street!

Checksum is 43.

Congrats to mudder91 for a speedy FTF, with Inquisitor Clayton right on her heels.
