Two-part offset cache. Information gathered at posted coords will lead to a "whizbang" (screw-top, 35mm size). On 04-19-07 the whizbang replaced the Nalgene bottle, which was cleared away by clean-up crews. Street parking at posted coords; nearby parking at cache. Be careful of traffic!
“Nobody has this much junk.” Those are the words of Jerry, owner of one of the most amazing accumulations of “stuff” you’ll ever see. The posted coords will take you to the intersection of two Louisville streets and put you right in front of his warehouse/showroom/home. His outdoor material, which you’ll find on both streets, will provide you with the information necessary to find the coords to the regular cache.
If you’re unusually lucky, you may have a chance to meet Jerry, as I did when I was putting this cache together. You’ll find that he is very glib and hospitable. I told him what my intentions were, and he said that was fine with him. I also mentioned that he could expect to see people walking the sidewalks in front of his place with devices that look like cell phones. He said he sees plenty of that already. I told him about the web site, but he said he doesn’t own a computer (which is probably one of the few things he doesn’t own).
So enjoy your visit to “Jerry’s Junk,” which is his own description. After you answer all the questions and determine the final coords, you’re going to have a chance to visit the colossal junk of another “Jerry,” one whose “stuff” might rival the first Jerry’s, at least in sheer bulk.
Okay, let’s get started. For the following coords, replace the letters A through F with the appropriate number derived from the ensuing questions.
38*15.ABC,
085*44.DEF
(1) On the “Lost Dog” plaque, find how many legs, then multiply times 2 = A
(2) “10 Good Reasons to Vote for Ross Perot.” Bill Clinton's number minus 1 = B
(3) Find the cost of a White Castle in cents and subtract 1 = C
(4) Find the year that Jerry made his version of the Statue of Liberty and subtract 1999 = D
(5) Find the last digit of Jerry’s four-digit street address = E
(6) Very close to the fence is a red firebox. There is a small plaque on it with a three-digit number. The last digit of that number plus 1 = F
When you get to the general area of the cache, you may have to park across the street or at some other area. Watch for traffic. Have fun! And give my best to Jerry—- both of them….
NOTE: As mentioned, on 04-19-07 I replaced the cache and moved it a tad from its original location, updating the final coords to reflect the move. I'm also happy to report that the area is much cleaner now. Also, I saw Jerry when I stopped by his place and he says "Hi" to everybody!
