Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. Figure out the clues in order. Inspired by LiefPhotos while completing GC2FXPW. In homage to the tireless tri-met bus drivers who take a lot from their riders. Let's get Tri-Met to increase their service to 24 hours a day!!!

N A B.CD W EF G.HI A. For those living in Portland who, apparently, work at Washington Square. It takes 53 minutes. B. I have never taken this bus, but I really should! I hear there's a pretty lake, and it goes to a mall! C. A sometimes scary bus, sometimes filled with the scent of Makers Mark, or what happens after. Takes you from the Goose to the Carousel over the Hawthorne twice. D. I love this bus. It could just be the longest route...from Sherwood to Gresham...look out for bicyclists! The name of the bus is deceiving...it doesn't take you to the town listed in its title! E. No, it doesn't take you all the way to the east coast. Just to a streeet named after a state via Barbur, Chestnut and Shattuck. F. (the one MAX QUESTION!) The amount of Type 4 Portland MAX Light Rail Cars in the fleet. G. This bus goes to Tryon Life Community Farm during rush hour. H. This bus covers the old #10 NE route, rides the steel bridge, then curves around Marquam Hill. I. If you're downtown and in a hurry to get to Sherwood, and can't catch the (3rd one listed above), try this one M-F from 3:30-6:30 pm. However, if you want to come downtown from Sherwood, you can only do it in the wee hours of the morning. And forget weekends. Commuters, anyone?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

When you get the cache, maybe after tri-met hours is better, or approach via bus, but really, it's a nano--so PLEASE replace where you found exactly AND TIGHTEN the lid to make sure it makes a waterproof seal. Also, only sign INITIALS on the log, thanks! Happy hunting! ***Congrats to CrunchyFrog83 for the FTF!***
