Geocache Description:

The coordinates above are not the final coordinates! In fact, they aren't that close to the final coordinates either.

Many moons ago, Marky & Joani created a puzzle cache which involved caches they hadn't yet visited (GCE441 Some caches we haven't seen). Of course, they probably wanted to create a cache using caches they have visited, but now that they've passed 4000 Finds, they still haven't gotten around to doing it. So, I guess it's up to me. Here are some caches that I have seen:

GC22D9 Bullsi by timber
GC822D Colslaw Rocks by pedaler
GCA657 two eighty tuperware tu'pence by MartyFouts
GCFADE Que La Paz Prevaleca by TeamAlamo
GCG8NG Brenda Allcia Lopez Plaza by Tammie the Dog
GCE2C8 Locked in a Cubical by Bill of Green Achers
GCD149 Gung Ho Fat Choy by Ron Streeter
GCGNG4 lostcach by Arizonastate, Crazyraven
GCJ8QY Crown Beach - Shorline by TeamSpaz
GCK2GF Along the De Anza Trail 6 - Tequilla Mockingbird by Marky & Joani
GCKCXH Knick Knack Pattie got Wacked by Team LegGoes
GCHYF0 Los Cerittos Community Center by TeamSpaz
GCKNTB Flickenger by geobrowns
GCJHZR Napolito by TEAM Nohoch
GCM77B Going Bannanas by Ashley
GCM8Y6 Penitencia "Dectructocache" by Team feline
GCMJ3K Gossmer Cove Lagoon by mjp303
GCMP8W Shaud and jors by Halbert
GCKXVT Mountain House - Wickland by 4wheeler
GCMN41 Williard the geocache II by JohnnyVegas
GCMR84 Discover Water @ L'Avenida by MadDad
GCMNXQ Flickenger Duex by GeoBrowns
GCMX6R Amazing Race Rally # 9 by Wheeler Dealers
GCMB00 Ceasar's Box (puzzle cache) by thBriGuy
GCMDRR Turn Over a New Lief by workerofwood


To determine the real coordinates:
GCMX6R + GCHYF0
(GCM8Y6 + GCKXVT) * (GCMJ3K - GCMP8W)
GCKCXH * GCMDRR
GCJHZR - GCMN41
GCFADE + GCGNG4 + GCD149
GCD149 + GCMR84
GCMB00 - GCM77B
GCJ8QY + GCMNXQ
GCE2C8 - (GCK2GF / GCKNTB)
-(GC22D9 * (GCG8NG - GCMP8W))

I have set the difficulty at 5 because it may be useful to visit some of the cache sites in order to determine the final coordinates. GCD149 is a restricted (member's only) cache; so if you are having trouble only with that one, let me know, and I will save you from having to go there. Thanks to Beckerbuns for finding the M&J cache that I wanted to include here. This cache will probably be more difficult for the owners of these caches. Thanks to fizzymagic for discovering some errors in the initial cache listing.

The location (and puzzle) have changed slightly as of October 6, 2007.

Bring your own writing implement. I didn't leave one in the cache.
