Geocache Description:

THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE FAKE, NO NEED TO GO THERE.

Falamazar and I will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary soon. I decided to place a cache for him to celebrate the occasion. Just a small camo'd container but it's the thought that counts, right? 

Falamazar spent six years in the US Navy right out of high school. During that time, he served on the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower. The coordinates for this cache can be found by looking up the CVN numbers of some of the Navy's aircraft carriers.

The coordinates you are looking for are N 41 4A.BCD, W 080 5W.XYZ.

NORTH

The USS Enterprise is CVN-___. The second digit of this number = A

The USS Harry S. Truman is CVN- ___.  The second digit of this number = B.

The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is CVN-___. The first digit of this number = C.

The USS Carl Vinson is CVN-___. The second digit of this number = D.

WEST

The USS Nimitz is CVN-___. The first digit of this number = W.

The USS John C. Stennis is CVN-___. The second digit of this number = X.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is CVN-___. The second digit of this number = Y.

The USS George Washington is CVN-___. The second digit of this number = Z.

Now that Falamazar has made his find on this cache, the next person to find the cache can also claim FTF as they will be the first to find now that the missing information has been added.

Placed with permission of the owner and her Saint Bernard.


Might not be available during the winter.
