Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT PUBLISHED COORDS.

The correct coords are available by solving the puzzle below.


THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE. THERE IS A CONTAINER AT THE MYSTERY COORDINATES, HOWEVER, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE ALSO BEFORE LOGGING THE CACHE.

When 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 strange names.
  • Some have meaningful names and some have...well you get the idea.
  • Hey, you can always change your log-in name. "AZseven" did. LOL
    L and E are what you seek
    Yes, I know we have many challenges out there and some are relatively easy and others rather hard to almost impossible. I hope this one is fun for all of you. "Enjoy or Not"

      Story Time
      When I was a young lad I lived up north on CR 3, one very long and bumpy winding road. As far as I was concerned it was very close to the edge of "N0WHERE". Seven days a week I would ride my Huffy twelve speed bicycle with reely heavy tires for miles and miles and miles just to see how far I could go. For an entire decade that bike was still in our family and passed on inexpensively to my three younger brothers one at a time until Biff our youngest brother started driving his two door 0ldsmobile Ninety-Eight. Now that big old car sure wes the thing, it had a four barrel 455 cubic inch engine plus that 127 inch wheel base, it only got 11 mpg, what a beast. This one time we actually stuffed 19 teenagers in there to break a previous record of 12. Well anyway it was nice to venture out on my eighteen speed bike today and two remember those times as I placed this cache. I won't say I rode my bike for miles and miles today, but I got my exercise in four sure. Riding a bike didn't get any easier after I turned thirty-seven. I sure picked one wild and crazy day to go biking plus hide one cache, it was raining and then snowing. Yes, I did it again, out caching in the "WHITE" stuff. I made it back home safe and sound though as I have promised my wife I would at least eight hundred and ninety two times.



      special thanks to 76-CJ7 for the cache idea
