Geocache Description:

The original Stock Up! cache was a virtual that was placed in a shameless attempt to lure other hunters near a place where they could purchase ammo boxes. Hey, we need more caches around here, right? Anyway, the store that was the target of this enticement gave us an ammo box full of goodies to hide nearby, as a thanks to all the hunters who have stopped by the store.

This cache is family friendly and is set up as a walkabout, with the final waypoint located less than a third of a mile from the starting point.

This is not a commercial cache. You do not need to enter the store in order to begin the hunt.

Just go to the coordinates listed above and search the area for a clue to the next waypoint. Once you find it, go to the second waypoint and look for something red. Take the three digits under AWWA and add them to both the latitude and longitude of your CURRENT location. Now, subtract 223 from the latitude and 274 from the longitude. This is the next waypoint.

Look for something that could fail catastrophically. Add the three digits found between Z and X to the latitude and subtract them from the longitude of your CURRENT location. Now, subtract 700 from the latitude and add 562 to the longitude. This is the next waypoint.

When you get there, take the two digits on the left of the cross and multiply them by five. Subtract this new number from the latitude of your CURRENT location. Take the two digits on the right of the cross and subtract them from the longitude.

Now you know where the ammo box is hidden.

Happy Hunting!

09/06/03 - The final coordinants for this cache are off by about 60 feet. This has, apparently, made the hunt unbearably frustrating for some folks. If you want to narrow the hunt down further, subtract 3 more from the latitude and 5 more from the longitude.
