Geocache Description:






This cache is not at the published coordinates

This is one of the "feeder" caches for the 2007 April Fool series. In order to find this cache you will need to determine its coordinates by finding them on a card that is in one of the other "feeder" caches in the series. There may or may not be some puzzle solving or arithmetic involved as well. In this cache will be found useful information necessary to find other caches in the series including the final: April Fool 2007 - The Grand Finale  - please see that listing for details. This information will be found on a card that MUST BE LEFT IN THIS CACHE. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS CARD otherwise you will ruin the series for everyone else.

To satisfy those who are eager to get an early start on the series, this cache will "go live" at one minute past midnight EDT on April 1st, 2007. You will not be able to find it before then because the necessary information will not be published until that time. If you choose to look for it at that time you will have to treat it as a traditional Multi cache. The starting coordinates for the first cache in the Multi will be revealed here at one minute past midnight EDT on April 1st, 2007. Finding it then could provide you an advantage in getting FTF on  April Fool 2007 - The Grand Finale later in the day. You can also find it in the same way as all the other "feeder" caches - i.e. by locating its coordinates in one of the other "feeder" caches. You will not be able to use that method, however, until after 7am EDT on April 1st, 2007 at which time the starting instructions to enable you to find the caches in this series will be published on the April Fool 2007 - The Grand Finale page.

As a reminder - you should also be aware that you might need some information from one or more of our previous April Fool caches during the course of hunting for this one so you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with their descriptions before you start out. It is not necessary that you have actually FOUND any of those caches (but if you haven't, of course we thoroughly recommend looking for them when you can find some time). Those caches are:

Pickering Airport - April Fool 2004

Lets Make a Deal - April Fool 2005

The Big Pipe - April Fool 2006
