Nomex: Hi
As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm temporarily archiving this to keep it from continually showing up in search lists.

Don't hesitate to email me via the link on my Profile if you have any questions. [red]Please be sure to include the cache name and GC Code, or better yet, the URL of the cache page.[/red]

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

You are loking for a good sized lock and lock container.

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES! The cache is within one mile of these coordinates and will involve a short hike.

OK, Cachers! Here it is! This is the 45th cache in our Presidents Series. In order to find this cache you will need to find the other 44 caches in this Series and make a note of the Code Number in each cache. Then, by using those numbers and by answering the Presidential trivia questions below, you will be able to determine the correct coordinates for this cache.

In order to claim this cache you must have logged into the other 44 caches.

Special thanks to Geojammers, Erickson and Brewmonkey for their encouragement and support. This is our 50th cache, but we had only placed one cache when we started this Series, so we have been gaining an education by trial and error. We are not very GPSr savvy, so we had to move several caches to meet the 1/10 of a mile limit on closeness of caches. Thanks to the volunteer reviewers for all their patience and help.

FIRST, SECOND & THIRD TO FIND: The Presidents Fandex Field Guides, the source of the Presidential portraits we used for this Series.
