DO NOT SEARCH FOR THE CACHE AT THE STARTING COORDINATES!
I made this test container to hang down. I took a waterproof
matchstick container and drilled two holes in the bottom and
threaded some 35 pound fishing line through the holes. I plugged
the holes with aquarium glue and covered up the container with
camouflage duck tape. Unfortunately a BIG rain washed it out to the
Mississippi for Chad Pregracke to find someday...
I replaced the container with a snap together marine type
container.
Rehide the container so it cannot be seen and hopefully no one will
abscond with it!
I didn’t want this to be too easy so I made it a
puzzle.
If the posted coordinates are
N 41° 32.(1599) W 090° 29.(403)
Then (1599) translates to 008 and (403) translates to 057.
The container is at N 41° 32.XXX W 090° 29.YYY
Where (71) translates to XXX and (535) translates to YYY
The cache is close to a path, do not search in any residential
area!
If you are stumped, please e-mail me through geocaching.com for
help!
Good Luck!
