Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the above listed coordinates. Answer the questions below to find the prize. The cache is a small(ish) container with room for small items. There is a pen inside, but you might want to carry one with you just in case.

While out hiding this series of caches I began to get a little irritated. I don’t know why. Some would call it being frustrated, some would call it being irate, others would call it being crabby. I agree with the crabby part. So, for all the crabby people out there, this one is for you. Answer the following (random ) questions about the 80’s and you will find your prize. There is an easy way to ground zero, you just have to leave the bike path to find it. There really is no reason to bushwack and destroy the area.
