Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates. In order to find the cache you will need to answer the questions below to get the real coordinates.


PLEASE NOTE: This cache will be archived on 11/30/2015

This cache was first placed over seven years ago and has been, by far, my most successful cache hide, despite it's unusual location/container. I'm glad that so many people have enjoyed looking for this cache. Alas, all good things must eventually come to an end.

I'm moving out of the area in a couple of months. Due to the nature of this cache hide, I will need to archive it since I will no longer live close enough to keep a watchful eye on it.

If you have solved this puzzle, and are just waiting for a chance to come find this cache, you have until November 30, 2015 to do so. The cache will be archived on that date and the "container" removed.

---original cache description below---

This is a camo'ed urban cache of unusual design. (Not another 35mm film canister hidden in a bush or under a light post, yay!) You will need to bring your own pen to sign the log.

A fair amount of stealthiness will be required, but if you run into the cache owners, feel free to say hi.

***TEXT DELETED***

To complete the coordinates, you will need to answer the following questions. (The answers can be easily found in the Discography section of the official Three Dog Night website.)

http://www.threedognight.com/disc.html

A: Which song number on the original LP was written by Lennon/McCartney?

B: ___ Dog Night (ok, so this one's a gimme)

C: How many songs were on side two of the original LP?

D & E: What are the last TWO digits of the year the original LP was released?

F: How many letters make up the title of the song from question A?

Hi terza! See, I even used that trick you seem to like soooo much! :P

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

Congrats to kewlby on a quick FTF!
