Geocache Description:

A camouflaged tupperware container, stashed somewhere in or near Tallahassee.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Don't go there.

This is a Tally Dragon-style geopuzzle that you can do without leaving the house. It's also a test of logical thinking, originally inspired by It's Thataway! in Austin, Texas.
The web link below will allow you to take a virtual walk around Tallahassee. Enter trial waypoints and click the button. For each point, the web page will tell you whether a person standing there would be closer to:
  1. The cache you're looking for, or
  2. The dome of the Old Capitol building downtown
That's it. You'll have to use the 'Cache or Capitol' information, plus your wits, to figure out where the cache is. If your trial points are very close to the cache, you'll get some extra help from the otherwise stingy web program.
BTW, the container does not look exactly like the generic cache picture that appears on the interactive web site.
