Geocache Description:

Congrats to NanR on their 1000th find GC2NHT5 KCIC- The Barns of Pittsford. In honor of that find I have crafted a similar style hide for their “Golden” Ammo Can.

**EDIT 11/25/17: CACHE IS NO LONGER AN AMMO CAN IT HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH A DECON CONTAINER... **


CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDS!! But they are one of about a half dozen places you can park.

Ok so a little insider information about NanR would be helpful. Also you may already have all the information that you need to solve the “puzzle”. To get everything you need to this cache you will need to visit 7 different locations. At each location you will find something relatively obvious with both a number and a letter on it. For now we will ignore the numbers and you will need the letter. Once you have them you will need to do the normal thing to give you coordinates. A=1 B=2 etc…


Then: N 43 (SPT7).(SPT2)(SPT2)(SPT6) W077 ((SPT1)+(SPT4)).(SPT3)(SPT5)(SPT2)

If you go to each of the locations you will be walking a minimum of a couple miles if you are one of the lucky ones who has everything they need to get the final location its only around a mile round trip. For those who don’t know R of NanR is really good at just walking up to an area and seeing the cache. He is also good at looking at the satellite view and knowing right were to go and where to look. So I decided to make this a puzzle cache so that the coordinates aren’t where the cache is and while he will probably look at the map and know where the points that’s only half the battle. This is also my first cache hide so I hope it goes well and that you all like it. Please replace the cache as found it makes the ammo can harder to see. Ratings are for the whole cache if you dont have to visit any or all locations you will prolly find it easier.
