Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT PUBLISHED COORDS.

Before we all started caching we had to think of a caching name.

  • Some have short names and some have long names.
  • Some have cool names and some have very weird names.
  • Some have meaningful names and some have...well you get the idea.
  • Hey, you can always change your log-in name. "GIZ" did. LOL
  • OR you can be like GSAB who changed his log-in to D+4223. LOL

Yes, I know we have a lot of challenges out there and some are rather hard to finish and some almost impossible. I hope this one is fun for all of you.

Challenge Details
In order to qualify to log this cache you first must complete the following.

  • Solve the puzzle below to get the final coords.
  • Find a cache for each digit in your log-in name.
  • Each cache must begin with that letter or number.
  • Cannot use the same cache twice.
  • Previous Finds DO NOT count towards this challenge.
  • Only Finds on day of publication or after are valid.
  • Punctuation Rule:
    If you have a punctuation symbol (non-letter or non-number) in your log-in name you need to at least find a cache with that symbol in the cache name.

Story Time
When I was a young lad of a boy we use to live on Hackett Hill Road very close to the entrance of the Quarry. Actually my Great Great Grandparents owned the land. I believe it is still in the family. So anyway it was nice to venture out here and see many areas as oascout and I bushwhacked all around the area. We even picked a day in April that it was raining and snowing, YUP I mentioned the "WHITE" stuff. (cache is now in a new location due to the no trespassing signs at the old location)
