Yourself Mystery Cache

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


YOURSELF

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES!

Placed as the final of a 12 part series.  Each cache counts as its own find and contains a vital clue to finding YOURSELFBased loosely on the Disney Pixar film Cars.  Just like Lighting McQueen, sometimes you need some friends to help you realize your final destination.  You will need to tally 11 friends before you find Yourself.  Yourself is a large ammo can.

 

Each friend’s lid(container for micros) contains a numbered bead or beads(except Sarge and Filmore which are stickers) which form a single number for that friend.  The sum of all friends is compiled according to the formulas below to give you the coordinates of your final destination.  Friends may be small or large, some may be easy to find, others more challenging, just like real friends. 

 

Final is in a public hunting area.  Use appropriate cautions during active seasons.

The other usual IowaDisclaimers apply:

Hot and buggy in the summer months.  Damp in the wet months.  Frigid in the winter months.  Some native plants can be irritating to exposed skin.

 

Please use the following formula:

N 420  sum (Filmore + Lizzie + Luigi&Guido + Mack + Mater + Ramone&Flo)/1000

W 910 sum (Chick + Doc + Lightning + Sally + Sarge)/1000

 

Example: NORTH Coordinate

Filmore         = 5476

Lizzie           = 7984

Luigi&Guido  =2139

Mack            =1134

Mater            =4321

Ramone&Flo=3457

SUM=====  24511        divide by 1000=24.511

Final North Coord is 420 24.511(example only)

 

Do the West Coordinate in a similar fashion.  Be  careful with your math.

The friends may be found alphabetically as follows:

Chick Hicks

Doc

Filmore

Lightning

Lizzie

Luigi&Guido

Mack

Mater

Ramone&Flo
