Thank you to everyone who visited my first puzzle cache, and thank you to Tim Bits for being such a good sport!! Not only was he the inspiration of the cache, but he even did me the favour of retrieving the container from it's hiding spot [:D]

I hope others had as much fun with this cache as we did creating it.

This cache is a tribute to Tim Bits! 

A recent cache outing took a really bad "turn" for my usual caching partner Tim Bits, and I'm pretty sure he was Seein' Spots! The results of this misadventure can be seen in the picture above! (YES, those really are HIS broken bones)

IIt might be quite some time before Tim Bits is up and around and finally able to search for this cache, but I encourage you to message him and wish him a speedy recovery, and while you're at it, ask him for the clues you need to make the find.  He LOVES puzzle caches!   

To find this cache you will need to identify three things and do a little math. 

  1. Name item "A" in the X-Ray above.  Convert to numbers. 
  2. Name item "B" in the X-Ray above.   Convert as you did above.
  3. You need to find the date that Tim Bits had his unfortunate fall.  

North = (Month X Day) + A  /1000=  .XXX     SUBTRACT from  N 42 57.109

West= (Month X Day) + B  /1000 = .XXX     SUBTRACT from  W 079 04.824
