Geocache Description:


Cache is not at the posted coordinates.

The cache is also NOT on private property, so if you find yourself on private property looking for it, then blame yourself and not me. I think it goes without saying that geocaches are not hidden on private property.

What you will find at this Ground Zero is a plaque that honors one of North Adam's local heroes of the past.

"Bucky" was once considered the voice of the youth of Berkshire County. He was an avid sports fan who was beyond active in the community. He loved basketball most of all, and local youths earn an annual scholarship created in his honor.

To get the cordinates for the cache, read the information on Bucky's plaque.

X = The difference between the last two digits of the year Bucky was born.

Y = The last digit of the year Bucky was born.

Q = The last digit of the year which Bucky died.

cache coordinates = N 42 42.0XY W 073 05.Q81

You are looking for a silver bison tube.

Can't believe we have to say this, but DON'T PARK IN ANYBODY'S DRIVEWAY. You should be able to park right on the side of the road at Ground Zero.

Happy hunting! Congrats to Orion and Son for the FTF.
