Geocache Description:


As a lot of you know, I have a general dislike for puzzle caches, so it may seem ironic that my first cache is a cache of this sort. The only twist is that with some internet work, you should have the coordinates easy. If you chose to figure this one out from home, you will get the coordinates to the cache, otherwise the posted coordinates will take you to a short drive from the cache. The cache itself is located in a residential area in a greenspace area. You will have to park and walk into this area. You do not need to trespass on anyone's property to access this area as there are two ways to get to it easily.

The internet information(or general knowledge for you smart ones)that's required is as follows:

#1: Angus Young of the rock group AC/DC was how old on March 31, 1999 (AB)

#2: The sum of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (CD)

#3: DCCLXXXVI (EFG)

#4: A Great Lakes tragedy occurred in 19(HI) when the Edmund Fitzgerald sank.

#5: Elvis Presley was how old when he died (JK)

#6: (L) is company, three's a crowd

#7: A Baker's Dozen is (MN)

The Final coordinates are:

N AB CD EFG
W HI JK LMN

The cache is a small lock sealed container that has items that my children placed in it. It is suitable for small items and contains the log. Please put it back exactly where you found it and beware of muggles, there are eyes everywhere.

I've been told that my coordinates may be off by about 15 feet or so (yay Garmin Etrex Legend HCX), so in an effort to be helpful, I've added an extra hint, don't use them if you don't need to as it'll make the find that much more rewarding.

You can check your final coordinates here: (visit link)

*Congratulations to Geogranny and Binrat for the FTF
