Geocache Description:


                                                                                                                                                                                       

 

 Welcome to the celebratory tribute cache for Randy58 also known as GIZ, who was the CO of some of the most exciting caches in the Greater Manchester area.  Randy is moving away. Please join me in a walk down memory lane. "The Cohas 15" kayak caches, both "There use to be a liquor store here" caches, "The Ledges of ManchVegas" and of course "Foul Territory". All total 98 favorite points, The CO escorted many cachers to these locations. Feel free to share your favorite memories and include a specific anecdote or two.  Three things are for sure, Randy was a joy to be with, he enjoyed caching and he always wore orange. Not because it was hunting season, but because he is a Baltimore Orioles fan. This cache is placed near an archive cache of Randy’s. John Goffe's Mill.  Don't look at it as GIZ has left us, more like he just moved from the ninth state to the first state. Like the Orioles, he likes being number one. In lieu of flowers please sign the log.

 

The Eagle must soar alone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Randy lives on in our hearts and minds and of course Delaware.

 

THE PUZZLE:

When I first met Randy I asked how to solve puzzles. He told me how coordinates get placed on the cache page. I placed a puzzle and used what he told me. Wouldn't you know he texted me and asked for a hint to solve that puzzle. I will make this one easy for him.

It's right here.....N 42° 57.323' W 71° 28.486'  Randy, can you see it?

 

Congratulations to Randy58 and the Rambler Too for the first and second to find.
