Geocache Description:



The posted coordinates are incorrect. Do not go there.

The following is a list of some pet peeves that we have heard during our time geocaching. They are not ours, so don’t e-mail us with your comments to the contrary! However, if you have some to add to the list, feel free to do so in your log. If you are able to determine what our real pet peeve is, you will be well on the way to solving the puzzle.

A. People who hide caches in cemetaries – that’s clearly disrespectful.
B. Puzzle caches that make you answer a quiz, questionaire, or list of queries.
C. Caches that expect you to come equiped with special tools to extricate the container.
D. Puzzle caches that include irrelevent information.
E. Caches not adequately accomodating the needs of the aged.
F. Definately, devilish micros deep in the woods!
G. Caches which have points associated with some peculiar pasttime.
H. Caches that make it nearly neccesary to be a numbers whiz.
I. Puzzle caches that, despite our perseverence, remain perplexing.
J. Losing that indispensible favorite item that you always include in your geo-kit.
K. Puzzle caches that deliberately dupe or decieve you.
L. The concensus #1 pet peeve: caches that are constantly muggled.

P = A-E
Q = C+L-F
R = B-D

S = I-H
T = G-J-D
U = K

The cache is at the coordinates: N 47° 47.PQR W 122° 07.STU


FTF gets an unactivated geocoin and an FTF token.

When you do solve the puzzle, we would appreciate it if you would not tell others the answer. There are lots of traditional caches out there for people to find if they want to be given the coordinates! We would appreciate any comments on the difficulty rating, terrain rating, and coordinate accuracy. Thanks!

Congratulations to Hike a Photo for the FTF!
