Italy in California #1 Mystery Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

RedHiker: Hi chrisb52,

I see that multiple cachers have noted problems with your geocache. I'm going to disable it to remove it from the list of active caches. Please stop by to check on your geocache and fix the noted issues. Once you are done, please leave a note for geocachers and re-enable it. This will let people know they can look for it again.

If you can't verify that your cache is still in place, then it might be time to archive it.

As the cache owner of a disabled geocache, there are three options available for you:

Please note that Geocaching HQ has placed greater emphasis on "refreshing the game board," which means that volunteer Reviewers will be more actively following up to ensure caches are maintained or archiving them as needed to free up space for new caches to replace any old ones that were not being properly maintained.

If you take none of the actions listed above as the cache owner, this geocache will be archived by a volunteer reviewer.

Please note that geocaches archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ due to lack of maintenance are not eligible to be unarchived.

Geocache Description:


ITALY IN CALIFORNIA #1

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDS !!!

It is within a 5 minute walking distance and a good parking lot. You may find a better place to park but that is your choice.

This is my first cache and I am dedicating it to Italy – the homeland of my ancestors and my girlfriend’s favorite country in the world !!!

This is also the first of a series of mostly puzzle caches since I want people to learn more about Italy and I love puzzle caches. This cache has very simple googable answers and is only rated a 2 star since it takes some time to answer the questions and the terrain is a 2 1/2 star (see hints ).

The coords for the cache are N 37° 50.AB9 W 122° 18.DEF .

Answer the questions and you will have your coords. Happy Caching !!!


A Coins in the Fountain – A Famous Movie from 1954.

The oldest University in Europe is located in Italy. The name of the city it is located in has B letters in it.

There are ALMOST C keeps changing so I put it in the coords above00 people in the smallest country in the world both in area and population. It has the most beautiful church my eyes have ever seen.

The fountain from A is located in a city that has D letters in it.

The number of colors in the Italian Flag – 2 = E.

The second largest island in the Mediterranean located off the coast of Italy has F letters in it.
