GC1AVA4 66 Apples Up On Top (Unknown Cache) in Colorado, United States created by ernie66

This cache has been archived.

ernie66: Ok, the apples have been up there for over 11 years now. It’s time to come to grips with the fact that nobody does puzzles anymore and those that do, don’t do hikes. Times have changed and I need to change with them.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates ~~but it is one place to park~~. Solve the puzzle to find the cache. Expect a significant hike. Update: Approach the cache from Schubarth Road, then either Rd 311 or Rd 313.

Remember the Children's story about three animals balancing apples on their heads? Here's a little variation (with extraneous intermediate steps removed):

	One apple up on top! Two apples up on top! Look, you. I can do it, too. Look! See! I can do three! Three...three...I see. I see. You can do three but I can do more. You have three but I have four. . . . Look! Ten apples up on top! We are not going to let them drop!
(Skipping right to the end...) Look here, you two. See here, you two. I can get 66 on top. Can you? 66 apples up on top! I am so good they will not drop. Look! 66 apples on us all! What fun! We will not let them fall.

Now for the puzzle. Yes, it's another of those puzzles with just two numbers. After reading that, you should know what to do with these numbers to get coordinates.
