***UPDATE 10/15/9***
The final cache went missing from its hiding place three times in the last few months so we have updated the hiding place. It has moved to what we hope is a spot that it will last for more than a month. However it has gotten a bit more difficult to retrieve. The vertically challenged will now have to get real creative to get to this cache. Please try not to drop the cache as it will be not be retrievable if it is dropped in its hiding place. The above puzzle has been changed to reflect the new coordinates. Please replace this cache back exactly as you found it.

This cache is a continuation of the "Courting Around" series of caches that were started by Ridgerunner02.
