This cache is the third in a series that will eventually lead to "West Texas Jones and the Lost Treasure." Each cache is a separate cache , but in order to find the "Lost Treasure" all 6 caches are needed. The "Lost Treasure" is a multi/puzzle cache. Inside each cache log in the first 6 caches is a number. Put these numbers together (in the correct order) and this will give you the starting point for the "Lost Treasure". In addition to a number in the cache log itself, there are many other puzzles, clues, codes, riddles, etc., to solve in order to find the "Lost Treasure".
Way back, in "Days Gone By", we didn't have Wii's, and Ipods, and HDTVs, but people still had their entertainment. I hope you can figure this out once you get to the cache. This might be the time to search for some words as you listen, but not watch!
Now on to the cache.......The coordinates bring you to the old Whiteface Hotel. Please take a few minutes and read about a little local history. While you're reading, be looking for a special number. Oh, by the way, I hope you were able to find your wheels.

Once you find the cache for "Days Gone By". check in the log for a 2 or 3 digit number. Also, there is something inside the container that you will need to take if you plan to look for the "Lost Treasure".
