Once upon a time there were some bonus caches associated with this cache. They have now been archived. For information purposes, they were:
Saturday (GC1141T) (now archived)
10th (GC11418) (now archived)
January (GC1140W) (now archived)
1863 (GC1140B) (now archived)


There are two ways of getting clues to help you solve this puzzle:
(i) consider/investigate the names of the bonus caches listed above;
(ii) visit the cache Chalk This Up First Ashwell (GCWC9Z). There is a clue to the Chalk This Up Ashwell puzzle on the inside of the lid of this cache's box, and there is also a plastic bag containing some helpful pieces of paper that you can take away and keep if you want to solve the puzzle over lunch or something.


As this is a puzzle cache and may not get visited very often, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE TRAVEL BUGS.
