Geocache Description:

It's Salad Fingers!

This is the final stage of the Salad Fingers series. You'll need to find all eight caches below and collect the codes at the top of the log sheets to find and complete this cache. The cache WILL NOT be at the posted coordinates. Use the following formula to determine the correct coordinates: N 28 AB.CDE, W 81 FG.HIJ

Codes A, B, C, D, F, G, H and I can be found at the top of the log sheets in each part of the series. The final two letters, E and J can be determined by solving the following:

E = The number on Salad Finger's door divided by 11
J = The number of Salad Finger's finger puppet "friends" multiplied by 2

These coordinates will not take you directly to the cache location but to the starting point of your final search for Salad Fingers. Look for clues in your surroundings to lead you to his hiding place. The cache container is a very large ammo can with a variety of items Salad Fingers has collected during his adventures. He's always looking for new treasures so feel free to trade.

The final trek to Salad Fingers requires walking approximately 100 to 150 feet into a thickly wooded area. Not much bushwacking required but there are plenty of thorns, insects and other nasties Salad Fingers likes to hang out with. The area is also prone to flooding at certain times of the year. I recommend bringing boots, snag-proof clothing, and plenty of bug spray.

Salad Fingers is a psychological horror Flash cartoon series originally created by British cartoonist David Firth in July 2004 which gained rapid internet popularity in 2005. The cartoon revolves around the eponymous Salad Fingers, a schizophrenic, green thin man who inhabits a desolate world. Although there's no strong language or sexual content in the videos, there is some mild violence/blood and some (if not all) may find the content disturbing. You do not have to view the videos to complete this cache or the series.
