Geocache Description:


Congratulations to Team GeoGriffin on reaching 1000 finds!

We have had many fun adventures over the past few years: pushing ladders down the Greenway, long bike trips, snowshoeing in freezing temperatures, swimming across streams and paddling in all kinds of weather. Good times. Yup, good times. Can't wait to see what experiences we have over the next 1000!

In honor of Team GeoGriffin's accomplishment, there is a Golden metal box waiting in the woods for you. There are lammies for the first six finders and a special envelope for Team GeoGriffin.

The youngsters from Team GeoGriffin have been present for many of our outings. In honor of their dedication and patience, there are three prepared caches in the Golden Ammo Box. Each has a sticky note with a nickname of one of the TGG crew. If you find one of these caches still in the box, feel free to take and place it for others to find. Please use the nickname in the cache name so Team GeoGriffin can watch where it ends up and who visits.

It is only appropriate that their Golden Ammo Can be hidden as a puzzle. Now, don't despair! They had no hand in creating the puzzle! This should be a pretty straightforward challenge. After learning a few things about their exploits, you should have all the information you need to take a trip to visit the shiny can hidden in the woods.

Please replace the cache as found. It really does fit back just as I had it if you remember how it was facing when you removed it. The view from the area is pretty good this time of year!

The cache can be found at N43 1A.BCD W077 3E.FGH

A = the number of the milestone Team GeoGriffin reached on 12/29/2007

B = the number found in the cache name of the Team's 400th find

D = the date in January when they became a geocaching.com member

E = the first number found in the GC# of their 1000th cache they found

F = the number found in the cache title of their FTF on 6/14/2010

G = subtract three from the greatest number of cache types Team GeoGriffin has found in a day

Good luck and happy searching. Remember, straight lines aren't always the best approach! They are often the most memorable though.
