Geocache Description:

This is the first Master Cache the Phatboyz have put out. It's not as hard as it seems, but you do have to do 5 other caches before you do this one. This cache will start you off in Lakewood, sent you to University Place and finish in Tacoma. Should only be 15 miles of driving or so.

The Origins of the Phatboyz It all started over 25 years ago, when young kids meet to play silly fun games, that we as adults have forgotten how to have fun at. Hot Potato, Hide-n-Seek, Trip, D&D and many more. That summer, I just moved to Tacoma and didn’t know anyone in the area. I met TossAss at the playground near my house. We met on the swings the day before school started. He told me which bus to take, saved me from being on the little kid’s bus. Little did I know then, we would be life time friends.

About the same time, Bilbo19 and Deity_Steve were meeting a few miles away. They met in the field in front of the fire station. They two were starting a life time friendship.

In high school, we all started to get jobs. I started working at this pizza place as a cook. Bilbo19 had been working there a few months as a driver. He gave me so much crap until I told him what he could do. Ever since that time we have been friends.

So I introduced him to TossAss and he introduce me to Deity_Steve. A short while later JerBear4 started working there. Bilbo19, Deity_Steve and I all moved out together, and later JerBear4 move in too. TossAss was always near by.

Thru the years some of us have moved away, moved back, gotten married, had kids, bought houses, started real jobs, and still somehow stayed friends.

That’s the story and I’m sticking too it.

Now visit some of these places and log a cache. In order to do this cache you will have to do 5 other caches to get the clues. This cache has 3 waypoints where you will need to gather information for the final cache location. The 3 waypoints are where we met.

You should already know the following information:

Phatboyz Bilbo19 Alpha Cache (University Place, Washington)(Bilbo19=AA)
Phatboyz Water Cannon (Tacoma, Washington)(Kiltsurfer=AB)
Phatboyz Not Vine Time...but Close(Lakewood, Washington)(Jerbear4=AC)
Phatboyz Shoe Tie (University Place, Washington)(Tossass=AD)
Phatboyz LOTR - Two Towers (Lakewood, Washington)(Deity_Steve=AE)

A= AA
B=AB
C=AC
D=AD
E=AE

Then you will need to do some simple math for the following….

F=B+D
G=B+C
H=R-2
I=S-C
WAYPOINT 1

Go to N47* A0.GFA W122* CC.AED

There are a set of apartments where Bilbo19 and Deity_Steve met. How many lights are sitting on top of the apartment signs (hint count both sides of the driveway) This answer will be R

WAYPOINT 2

Go to N47* AH.BC0 W122* CH.GEF

This is where Kiltsurfer and TossAss met. Count the number of swings. This is a private park, but there is no need to go inside the park. You can see the swings just driving by. Please respect the neighborhood where we grew up and stay out of the park. This answer will be S

WAYPOINT 3

Go to N47* A4.ASG W122* IH.0FB

This is where everyone met everyone. Above the door there is a phone number. This will be TUV-WXYZ.

FINAL WAYPOINT – The Cache

Go to N47* AV.ZRA W122* CH.FSY

Okay, there you have it. The terrain is for the final cache is a 2 maybe a 2.5. There are no hints at this time, but I will add some if needed.

Phatboyz Master Cache #01

The Phatboyz have put together a series of caches that leads other caches. We have grouped them in sets of five. Why five? Because there are five phatboyz. Five caches lead to a Master Cache (MC) and five MCs lead to a Super Master Cache (SMC).

In order to log a MC you must do all five of the caches that leads to that MC. To do a SMC you need to do all five MCs and all Caches leading up to each MC. You will have logged 31 caches when you complete this quest. As caches are placed and approved, we will update this page.

To claim the cache in any MC or SMC you must have logged all caches before it. You may do any cache in any order, but in order to do a MC or a SMC you need to do all caches leading up to that cache. Your log will be deleted if you do not complete all caches leading up to a MC or SMC.

In each cache there is a name and a number that you must remember or write down. These names and numbers will be used in the MC and SMC. Names and numbers for the caches will be used in both the MC and SMC (hint: you will have 5 names and 5 numbers when you do the MC, you will have 30 names and 30 numbers when you do a SMC)

If for any reason a cache is removed or archived, we will replace that cache with a different cache. The name and number will be the same for both the archived cache and the new cache. In this case you will have to do one of the two caches to complete a MC or SMC, you will not have to do both.

DO NOT PUT ANY NAMES OR NUMBERS IN YOUR LOGS. All logs containing names and/or numbers will be delete.

If you have any questions please email us.

Our user names are:
Kiltsurfer, Bilbo19, Jerbear4, Deity_Steve and Tossass
