The above coordinates are not where you will
find the cache.
This is 1 of 42 puzzle caches in a series that were created
to commemorate GeoWoodstock VIII. There is a Final of this Series
that you can find, if you feel inclined to do so. The Waypoint for
the Series Final is
GC24NBA.
You will need to find the 21 numbers attached to 21 of the 42
puzzles used to create this series. These numbers will be placed on
the logbook of the puzzle caches, so WATCH FOR THEM! This cache
may, or may not have one of those numbers in it. You will need to
have signed the logbook of all 21 of the correct caches to be able
to legally claim a find on the Series Final. Good Luck!
In the 60s we had the Volkswagen Microbus, Austin Healey,
Corvette C1, Corvair Monza, Jaguar MK11 and Porsche one of the
commonly seen cars around.
What are tragedies is the loss of 1960 cars and Drive-in
Theaters, Washington State has only 13 Drive-in Theaters to
date.
I was just one year old in 1960 so I only remember very little
of that time. Of course I had a cool Trike that had a radio, siren
and light I was cool on the block then. I was 5 when milk was being
delivered to our door step. One time I was helping my mother bring
in the bottles of milk, I just then tripped with a bottle in my
arms and broke the bottle and had to have stretches.
I-5 opened in 1967. The fact that it left a big gash
through Seattle -- a concern to only a few citizens -- was
rectified with the construction of Freeway Park in 1976. What
lingers unresolved is the suggestion made by First Hill residents
before construction began, that the freeway plan should include a
comprehensive plan for mass transit adjacent to I-5. The concern is
still a hotbed issue in Seattle city politics today. Below is a
photo of construction of the Ship Canal Bridge.
Perilous twister: Western Washington's first tornado hit
Seattle's View Ridge neighborhood in 1962, causing some damage but
no loss of life. Decades later, it could be seen just what a threat
the twister had been - to the national and international economy.
For the tornado first struck the home at 7308 44th Ave. N.E. Inside
were a frightened Mary Gates and her 6-year-old son, Bill, later of
Microsoft fame.
Flying ivories: The 1960s were seldom more "far out" than
at the 1968 piano drop outside Duvall, sponsored by KRAB radio and
the Helix A crowd of more than 1,500 came to hear music and see a
helicopter drop an aging upright piano. What sound it would make
sparked endless fascination. But the piano plopped into the mud
without much sound. The Great Duvall Piano Drop became, in the
words of organizer Paul Dorpat, "a piano flop."
Fair opener: Singer John Raitt performed at the gala
opening of the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle. Holding his sheet
music was Raitt's 12-year-old daughter, Bonnie, who would be a
headliner herself in years ahead.
Ribbon snafu: For the 1962 opening of the Ship Canal
bridge and the first section of Interstate 5 in Seattle, Mrs. Effie
Aldrich, whose house had been demolished for the freeway, was to
cut the ribbon. But she was not told that such ribbon-cutting was
done four times (three fake snips for show, one for real). So when
Mrs. Aldrich severed the ribbon on the first snip, it set off a mad
dash among spectators for their cars. Startled politicos scrambled
out of the way, clutching speeches never delivered.
Beatlemania: The Aug. 21, 1964, appearance of the Beatles
in Seattle set off pandemonium in the streets and inside the
Coliseum itself. Sandra Hollister, a 15-year-old Everett girl,
flung herself onto the trunk of the Beatles' limousine outside the
Edgewater Inn and was pulled off by police. She promptly fainted.
When she awoke at the hospital, she remarked, "One of the Beatles
looked at me! That's the last thing I remember."
Farewell, PCL: Decades of play by the Seattle Rainiers in
the Pacific Coast League ended on Sept. 2, 1968, with a 4-1 win
before 5,088. Many longtime fans in Sicks' Stadium took their
seventh-inning stretch, but did not sing "Take Me Out to the Ball
Game." Instead , they sang "Auld Lange Syne."
Now it’s time to get on with what you
came here to do and that is solving the puzzle.
You see 6 - 1960 vintage cars with a letter A through F next to
them, what you need to do is find the year for each one. I gave you
some of the information above.
A=
B=
C=
D=
E=
F=
A minus 1955 = Q
B minus 1964 = R
C minus 1964 = S
D minus 1952 = T
E minus 1952 = U
F minus 1957 = V
