Not at the published location, which is a convenient parking spot for the cache. The walk from here and back to the cache isn't trivial (hence terrain rating) but it is really stunning on a nice day like today. Although it might sound hypocritical coming from me, this is definitely a cache to do during daylight for maximum appreciation.
To solve this cache it might help you to identify the person who said "I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot." It would be even more helpful if you could find the (loose) connection between this person and a certain geocacher I have been known to go night caching with.
Turn the following into coordinates (see additional hint for further clues)
Niagara - The Asphalt Jungle - 40
Clash By Night - Love Happy + 40
We're Not Married - Ladies of the Chorus - 39
Bus Stop - How to Marry a Millionaire - 31
Near to the above coordinates there is a largish sign. Count the words on the front of the sign (=Q). How many lines of text are there on the bottom part of the sign? (=R). **Because the sign has now gone I can tell you that Q=33 and R=9!**
The cache is located X minutes to the South and Y minutes to the East of the coordinates for the sign given above.
X = (6*Q - 2*R)/1000
Y = (34*Q - 4*R)/1000
This cache was also set as a challenge for Gary Honey who on the day of publication had found a cache on each of the last 298 days. He had 24 hours to solve and find this one in order to combine his 100th find of a Tj cache with 300 days of straight caching (done at an average difficult above 3 stars, too). Although Gary solved this puzzle in the nick of time he wasn't able to grab the FTF until his 302nd day of continuous caching, thereby claiming his 101st of my caches. Close but no cigar!
