Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates

 

I was recently looking through some old archived geocaches when I stumbled upon something really interesting, an old archived cache, GC3976Y. As I started to do some research I discovered a very sad story behind the cache. The last person to search for it died while trying to find the cache. After reading through the old logs and the hints I decided that I wanted to find the missing container. I searched and searched but I was never able to discover what happened to it. I have provided you with all the information you need to start, your job is to go out and find the missing container. Perhaps you will have better luck than me and find the lost geocache.

The final location was updated on 8-23-18. The puzzle has not changed since publication, but you will need to re-solve it to get the new final coordinates. I used the following program to calculate long distance projections: http:/www.fizzymagic.net/Geocaching/FizzyCalc

 

First to Find Honors goes to Strider, Crowsfeat30, L frank, Denmother and C3GPS!!! ​
