Where's George Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Taekwondoman: Since no one can find it now, I assume that it's missing. I guess it didn't survive a month of Spring Training baseball.

Go to the Where's George website (http://www.wheresgeorge.com/) Answer the following 2 questions from the website for the true location of this cache.

(1) What is the first name of the person who runs Where's George?

  • George - N33º 26.007
  • Hank - N33º 27.007
  • John - N33º 28.007

    You may put anything that fits into it. It's a glass mason jar. It is not in the wash so don't attempt to climb in there. No need to damage any plantlife in getting to it.

    12/10/01 Update: Based upon the first unsuccessful attempt, I gave this cache a 2nd look. My GPS said the cache was 35 feet from the original coordinates I gave (N33º xx.000, W111º xx.379). I updated the coordinates in the clues above to agree with this second reading (17 feet accuracy). The cache is easily visible from 10-15 feet so I don't think it should be that difficult given the degree of inaccuracy of these GPS devices. I believe this is a safe cache that should remain undisturbed unless city workers go in and do massive landscaping.

    This is my first attempt at starting a cache. I designed and placed it quickly.

    Can you imagine someone entering the serial numbers of 120,000 bills into Where's George?
