Geocache Description:

*** Cache is not at posted coordinates ***


A while ago I noticed that I had been hiding an awful lot of puzzle caches, so I have taken some time off of new puzzle caches. The most recent one was Delta Pi 2009, almost a year ago. (Obi's Night Drive was not a puzzle cache.) It's time I started hiding puzzles again.

The travel bugs in this picture are: Upper-right from the top are Nylstroom, South Africa, Barreiras, Brazil, Montclair, United States of America, Dungra, India; upper-left from the left East San Gabriel, United States of America, Harsewinkel, Germany, Seyegan, Indonesia, Badajoz, Spain; bottom left to right Murom, Russia, Pontal, Brazil, Yucaipa, United States of America, Tagawa, Japan; center WDD 2007 Commemorative Geocoin; and lower-right BlackX2.

The first stage is a microcache. The second stage is a regular cache.

Again, this is a simple cache, once you figure out how to decode it. You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com. Clues in picture. You'll like where the first stage is located. :-D

Congratulations to Apollo 17 on being first-to-find! This cache lasted 376 days, or 1 year and 11 days. This one was difficult to find, even with the coordinates.
