A Cryptex Trading Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

WildBill50: The Cryptex part has succumbed to the weather and the handling from all of the finders, and with no time to make decent repairs, we figured this one has run its course. Thanks for all the favorite points.

Geocache Description:

THE CACE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.
This cache is designed for trading Pathtags. I am starting this off with 5 of my personal tags for the F5TF, and several others that I have extras of.

Please, if you take a Pathtag, leave a Pathtag so that others can add onto their collection.

Once you figure out the above coordinates you will need to know the answer to the question listed below.. The answer can be found on this website. I learned about this great thing we all love by researching the history. I thought that it would be cool to get others to do the same and maybe learn something they didn't already know.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE CACHE WITHOUT ANSWER.
The container does require a some amount of force to open as long as you have the correct answer. Once you enter the answer pull firmly on both ends to open the container. If the container is still too difficult to open please let me know and I will conduct some maintenance to make it easier to open.

****What is the name of the person that coined the term "Geocaching?"****
I have placed the Cryptex in a large plastic bag to help protect from moisture. Please ensure that you put it back in the bag once you have logged your find.
