Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates but you should park your vessel nearby.

As we, often weary hitchhikers, pass through infanthood, childhood, teenhood, and adulthood, there are those particular moments, sometimes attached to special events or meaningful celebrations, when we pause to ponder the true Meaning of Life. In order to find this cache, one of those moments will have had to pay off for you, for only those who have discovered the true Meaning of Life will have the answer to the puzzle which will reveal the actual coordinates for the cache.

DON'T PANIC!
• To log this cache, discover the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
• Insert the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything into the following coordinates: N 36 43.XY0 W 076 15.1XY
• Find the cache.
• Sign the log in the cache.
• Take a while to sit, enjoy the vista, recall fond moments, and ponder the true meaning of life, the universe and everything.
• Answer the following Question, “What is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have?” Secretly embed the answer to this question in an appropriate phrase in your log on the cache page. Red herrings will be welcomed as long as the right word is there also. (Optional but highly recommended)



Many Thanks to Firestone Earthfriend for permission to bring this cache to our corner of the galaxy.
