Geocache Description:

Two stage puzzle cache with a 35mm flim canister next to a canal, so bring a pencil to figure final coords & sign the log, and watch your kids! Mine were happy to toss pebbles into the water. Cache is not at the above cache page coordinates, but you can park there at the public end of Hoyer Lane. This is not as hard as it may appear, at least for someone who grew-up in the 70's!

In honor of hide #70, I've gone with a 70's theme - Stage 1 coords: North: AB°CD.EFG, West: HIJ°KL.MNP

To get the coords for stage 1, which is close, just replace the letters from the coords with the missing numbers from the titles of these TV shows that aired during the 1970's.

B is Enough: set in Sacramento - one of the child actors grew up to be the first Bible Man.

Adam HI: Officers Reed & Malloy on duty.

Hawaii C-O: Detective McGarrett against the mafia.

F's Company: Jack, Janet & Chrissy share an apartment and sexual inuendos.

My N Sons: Widdower Steve Douglas' life

The Fantastic G: Animated, starring Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing, and H.E.R.B.I.E. instead of the Human Torch (Don't as me why!).

Room DMP: Mr. Dixon's room in Walt Whitman High School.

J Day at a Time: Ann, Julie, and Barbara (played by Eddie Van Halen's future wife) Romano try to survive without a man in the apartment. Except that Schneider keeps dropping in.

The A Robotic Stooges: Animated, (DUMB! but I needed another 3 - oops, gave it away) Larry, Curly and Moe are reincarnated as crime fighting robots.

OK, this one's not a title, forgive me. MASH 4077's rival MASH unit, the BKLE.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Now that you have the stage one coords, when you get there, you'll see some numbers. There are two numbers to your left - do what you're told, then subtract 525 from that total. Your answer is QRS. There are also two different numbers to your right - again, do what you're told, then subtract 668. Your anwer is TUV. Switch those numbers with the cooresponding letters in the coords below and you'll soon have the cache in hand.

Stage 2 and final stage coords: North: AB°CD.QRS, West: HIJ°KL.TUV

Congrats to osos7 on a first FTF!
