Mini-Me Mystery Cache

Raven: Time to let this one go...

Given all the new commercial/warehouse construction all around this place, placing what I was hoped would be a replacement just wouldn't do it justice: I'm not into placing PnG's that much, LOL.

Thanks for the reminder, Vertighost! Archiving...

Geocache Description:



Mini-Me



This puzzle cache is all about me... ME... ME:

Well... truth be told, this puzzle cache is actually just about Mini-Me:



To locate Mini-Me, use the birthday of the one I honor and solve for the following coordinates:

N 29 (46 + Month + (3 * Day))).(Year - 1010); W 095 (27 + Month + Day).(Year - 1254)

These will unmistakably lead you to the right place. Please be discreet as you roam around the area: a sentinel will very likely be watching you -- and it can get quite busy depending on the time of day.

Getting to its associated cache and signing the log will require a few -- but simple -- extra steps:

(1) Count the number of "bricks" -- starting from the top to the bottom -- at each corner around Mini-Me (referenced below as North, East, South & West).

(2) Add (North + East + South - West) "one-thousands of a minute" to Mini-Me's latitude.

(3) Substract (North + East + South + (2 * West) + 2) "one-thousands of a minute" from Mini-Me's longitude.


Now for the big question: "who am I"?

I strut my stuff roughly 50 miles North of here (straight up North, i.e. "as the 'raven' flies")... All Houstonians should've heard of me, but go ahead and use the hint if you don't have a clue...

Cache is a camo'ed prescription bottle; bring your own pen. Please place cache back EXACTLY as found (including extra cover, if possible). As a courtesy to others, please do not post any spoilers... it's enough of an easy puzzle as it is!


FTF prize was -- very appropriately -- a MINI-Mini-Me! Congratulations to TeamThung on the FTF!!!
