Geocache Description:

DO NOT GO TO THE COORDINATES ABOVE. THE CACHE IS NOT THERE

Another in the GZ series. To find this cache you need to find the GC location for Berlin, CT.

*** Update v2. Looks like GC changed their query again. #s updated to adjust.

*** Update. Due to a recent GC change the easiest way to get gz is to use "Add/Edit Insta-Notify Subscription" with the zip code function. This is a premium feature and I hope this may encourage more to subscribe. There is a way to get the same result without using this feature, but you will need to figure this out yourself.

Since you can't actually get to GZ for this one, a little HW before heading out.

Take the N coords, add Ryan Kerrigan's PU Jersey # add 4.587
For the W coords take the GZ coords, subtract 2680 and subtract the area code for the city where Purdue played their 2007 Bowl Game.

Your solution should be in the form:
N 41*4N.NNN
W 072*4W.WWW


You are looking for a small "freshness keeper" ~3"x3"x5" thanks MCH for the tip on where to acquire these. Sorry to the first (4) who ended up in someones backyard.

Special thanks to skippermark for bringing the first GZ cache to CT GCYXBB: Ground Zero - Cedar Mountain
