This cache has been archived.

GeoCrater: I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no word from the owner in the month or more since the last reviewer note was posted. If you want to re-activate the cache during the next couple of months, please contact GeoCrater to see if that's possible. If the cache meets current guidelines, consideration will be given based on the circumstances surrounding the original archival.

NOTE: My preferred method of communication is through notes on the cache page in question. However, should you wish to use email - please do not select "reply". In general, a replay to the geocaching.com mail bot will not reach me. Instead, please go to your cache page and e-mail GeoCrater from the log there or email me directly at geocrater@gmail.com, referencing the cache URL, or waypoint number.

Additional translation added as I support a number of countries:

Lamento archivar este caché, ya que no ha habido ninguna comunicación del propietario en el tiempo transcurrido (un mes o más) desde que se publicó la nota del revisor. Si deseas reactivar el caché durante los próximos dos meses, por favor, ponte en contacto con GeoCrater para ver si esto es posible. Si el caché cumple con las directrices en vigor, se estudiará dicha petición teniendo en cuenta las circunstancias que llevaron el archivo original.

Geocache Description:

I thought I would place another "X" for those of you who are interested in that sort of thing.

4th of the series, after Join the ClubI Want to Join the Club, Too, and Qui Voudrez Adhérez au Club. This one is an ammo can.

The cache is not at the posted location. The posted location is irrelevant to the cache, except that it is a location where you might find the X-Men, and you will need to add some of the below offsets to this location in order to find the final.

Your mission is to join the club. Once you have joined the club, you will know how to find this cache. Based on the offsets below, you will be able to go from the posted coords to the final coords.

My goal is that this cache should be a little tricky, but not too difficult. Therefore, I plan to add a little more to the description page from time to time to help get the difficulty set just right.

Use this list of club members/non-members to deduce who qualifies for the club. Then, apply to the posted coordinates all of the offsets below that are shown for club members. This gives you the final location. Happy Hunting!



Magneto is in the club, but Max Eisenhardt is not.
Mimic is in the club, but Calvin M Rankin is not.
Wolverine is in the club, but James "Logan" Howlett is not.
Paige Elizabeth Guthrie is in the club, but Husk is not.
Havok is in the club, but Alexander Summers is not.
Lifeguard is in the club, but Heather Cameron is not.
Angel is in the club, but Warren Kenneth Worthington is not.
Samuel Guthrie is in the club, but Cannonball is not.

Further Note: some cachers have had more difficulty than I planned / expected locating the cache at the final location for the previous puzzles in this series. Hopefully, the waypoints on this cache will provide guidance to such cachers. Disregard the descriptions of the waypoints if you want a challenge.
