Geocache Description:

This cache is placed in honor of The Pink Panthers 1000th find. Since meeting The Pink Panthers last fall, we have had many great times caching together. While Mr. & Mrs. PP love ammo cans, they are also very good at solving puzzles. Thus, this tribute cache was born.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES. This is a four part multi that will require you to know some things about The Pink Panthers journey to 1000 finds as well as other clues you'll pick up along the way. You may want to do a little homework on-line before you head out, unless of course you have one of those cool I-Phones - or even better - a Droid!

This walk is a little over a mile one way, but if you play your cards right, you can do three other caches (not to mention ice cream) along the way. (Winter - or wimpy - cachers can drive from WP2 to W3 if they wish. You can also drive to a trail head about 0.2 mile from the final.) This cache is also bike friendly.

A = Fishers Library Cache minus Big Bend-Sharp Bend.

B = Keychain Cache plus 7.

C = 2Cool4School minus 24.

At the published coordinates, add up the number of large block letters on the building to the north of you and the two addresses on the building. Subtracting this total from the published north coordinates will give the north coordinates for waypoint 2.

The published West coordinates minus A will give you the west coordinates for waypoint 2.

When you arrive at waypoint 2, subtract the year featured in the seal from the WP2 north coordinates and then add 1443. This will give you the north coordinates for waypoint 3.

Then add B to the number of first names that are Likely to stick out at you at WP2. Subtracting the total from the WP2 west coordinates will give the west coordinates for waypoint 3.

At waypoint 3, multiply the number of gate posts that are mounted into the ground by 58 and add three. Subtracting the result from the WP3 north coords will give you the north coords for the final.

Then multiply the same number of gate posts by 36 and add 1. Subtract that number from the WP3 west coords to get the west coords for the final.

There are seedlings in the cache for the first finders. Please use them to create "Are You Pink Enough" caches in honor of The Pink Panthers. AYPE cache guidelines can be found at http://coord.info/GC2KJ24.

If you need any help, Mrs. PP will be glad to point the way.

Oh, and one more thing. Don't forget to get ice cream after doing this cache. It's in the Pink Panther bylaws.

Congratulations to The Pink Panthers on their First to Find!
