Geocache Description:

Congrats to adamathomeca and durango0072 for their FTF!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates; but you could park there if you wanted to.

Puzzle shouldn't be too hard. I've seen this type around before so I'm sure it's nothing new to the die-hard puzzle cachers out there.

Terrain is listed at a 2.5. Trail up to cache location is mud/gravel and easy going but when you arrive at the cache location you're gonna have to get climbing around. Be VERY careful of your footing when at the actual cache location as it can be tricky walking around in places. You'll see what I mean.


Have you ever struggled to remember the elements of the periodic table and how they perform?

HA…me neither! I was one of those students who just didn’t “get” chemisty. In fact, my lab mates and I spent more time telling geeky jokes about (as opposed to actually paying attention to) the periodic table.

For example.. here's one of the classics....

Oxygen and Hydrogen were standing in a bar when all of a sudden Gold walks in. Oxygen yells to him "AU! Come over here".

Get it?? If not, you may need to do a bit more work than others to find this cache.

If you paid attention in class, this should be a breeze:
N Ruthenium° Molybdenum.Ytterbium + Tungsten
W 0Europium° Chromium.Americium,Oxygen



Cache is in a camoed rubber maid container with a FTF prize of a set of unactivated Travel Bug tags.

Since this is our first cache any private feedback to our email on the coordinates if they are off would be appreciated as our GPSr was kinda antsy.
