Geocache Description:


cache is NOT at the above coords, but it is the place to park.


For many years I have been watching New Year's Rockin' Eve and making (keeping? sometimes) resolutions.
To begin you need to find the answers to these two questions:

1) What year did Dick Clark debut on New Year's Rockin' Eve?_____

2) What year was New Year's Rockin' Eve NOT aired?_____

At the parking location:
How many wood post are there?_______
How many tan posts are there?________

A = The number of wood posts divided by 3.

B = Add the two years together, then add the last two digits.

C = Divide the number of wooden posts by the number of tan posts.

D = Take the difference of the two years (should be two digits), then subtract the smaller number from the larger number.

E = Find the total of the two years, then E will be the first digit

F = To find this number, you must add the first digit and the third digit of the year Richard Clark debuted on New Year's Rockin' Eve


N 45 43.ABC W 122 37.DEF

checksum = 65 before offset
Off-sets to apply to your final coords: North: -.006 West: +.003


To log this cache you MUST:
1) Log ONLINE what your New Years Resolution is.
2) If you find this cache later in the year (i.e. spring, summer, fall) log ONLINE how you are doing on keeping your resolution.



Congratulations to the Fourmacs for the News Years FTF!
