Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates. Cache is only big enough for a log. Please BYOP.

Cache is located off a busy street. Do not park on the busy street to retrieve the cache. Stay off the nearby private property.


You will need to solve for A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, AND J (hence the increased difficulty).

Plug your numbers into N43 AB.CDE W088 FG.HIJ

If you get a two digit number, you've done something wrong, start over from the beginning. You will need to solve all of the following in order to make the find. Please don't spoil the puzzle by posting in your log the meticulous work you or your team did to solve this incredibly challenging puzzle. If you can figure it all out and would like me verify the coordinates prior to heading out on what may just be a wild goose chase, email me your solution. I will let you know if you've been successful. By popular demand and the number of wrong answers I've received on the first day, I've added a geochecker. Hints will only be provided if you log a DNF. I will be happy to provide you some advice then.

A = chevyole's age times zero

B = The number of day(s) in beccaday's name.

C = 2 + 2 - 2 = what number. (hint its the only number on this line.)

D = a number, any number in SEVENCARDS name.

E = The number you add to itself to get 10.

F = Number of wifeyole's current and only husbands (that she's told me about)

G = A whole number between 5 and 7

H = The number of hours it could take Mr Greenthumb to solve this puzzle times 60. Divide that answer by the number of minutes it could take Mr Greenthumb to solve this puzzle. Add 2 to that answer.

I = Froggerz number of attempts to solve this puzzle and every other puzzle they solve on the first try, PLUS 7.

J = Puzzler's shoe size MINUS itself PLUS 7
