I consider myself very fortunate to be able to live such an
affluent lifestyle, thanks to a very large inheritance from my
uncle, who made his fortune in women’s underwear. (Discovered
by my aunt to her great surprise, when going through his closet
before the funeral!) It is the least I can do to share some of my
experiences with those of you who are less fortunate then I.
Hopefully you can live vicariously through me, to help give you
some relief from your dull, humdrum lives.
In the past year, I have made six different trips around America
in my private jet, visiting no fewer than 23 cities and towns
during my travels. Each of the names, things, events, etc. listed
below relates to one of those places, in the order visited, and
grouped based on the six different trips. If you can identify each
city/town, and examine the route of my direct flights between
locations for each trip, you should be able to find the six numbers
needed to fill in the final coords, 38 41.ABC, -121 15.DEF.
Some of these should be obvious, even to those of you not
blessed with my superior intelligence. Some may take more work and
research, but do not despair. We can’t ALL be billionaires
and geniuses, so I’ll be glad to provide help if needed.

Now to the second part of the puzzle… If you are able to
locate the specified coordinates, you should find yourself right in
the middle of a street. Move, you dummy! You’re going to get
run over! Just to your east, you should see residences where four
unfortunate families are forced to crowd themselves into just two
buildings. (How sad!) Take any one of the addresses of those
houses, and divide it by the original number of
Baskin-Robbins’ flavors. The resulting number will tell you
how many feet you need to go due north from the coordinates to find
the cache.
Good luck to you. And remember that if you work hard, are very
lucky, and happen to be blessed with superior genes, you may
someday aspire to reach some small semblance of my greatness!
Oh, I almost forgot something. I didn't have much on me, so just
had to leave $2 million from my pocket change as a prize for FTF.
And be sure to replace the natural camo as found. Have to keep the
riff-raff out, you know!
NOTE ON LOCATION CHANGE: The original
container was muggled and has been replaced. After making the
adjustment specified above from the puzzle solution coords, you
will need to continue north about 50 more feet, and look for a
stump.
