Geocache Description:

This cache is based on the SNL skits featuring Matt Foley, the motivational speaker. This is also our first puzzle cache.

The above coordinates are for thaWhizkid's other cache Bridge Over Troubled Water which is located at the beginning of the path that you'll need to take to snag this cache.


To figure this puzzle out, you'll need to watch the the SNL skit here. To get the coordinates to the GZ, you'll have to answer the following questions:

A. How many kids are in the family?
B. Number of letters in the first name of the famous writer that Matt thinks the boy looks like.
C. Number of letters in the color of Matt's tie.
D. Add up the two numbers in Matt's age.
E. Add up the number of times Matt pumps his arms when he talks about, "Getting on the right track" and subtract it by 1.

N40.AC.AEB W078.3C.DE0



Important Notes: This cache is not kid friendly and offers a lot of places for water hazards. The total round trip is roughly .5 miles. The easiest place to approach the GZ from the original path is via N40 25.310 W78 35.924. There's not a whole lot of bushwhacking once off of the path, but good balance may be needed as you get closer to the cache location.






Congrats to the CacheandJules for FTF!
