Geocache Description:

FTFs: hirtle Arnold Six Clan

hirtle and Arnold Six Clan get to fight over the Timmies!



The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You're in a heap of trouble if you go there as that's the intersection of runways 10/28 and 16/34 at CFB Shearwater

To locate the cache, you ask a question and I answer YES or NO

I will answer questions that are clear, unambiguous, and meaningful to all; that can be answered with a simple YES or NO. Any questions not meeting these requirements will be ignored and the next question in the queue will be considered.

I will answer no more than one question per day. Post your question as a public note on the cache page, and I will answer in the same way. Each geocacher can ask up to three questions - but only one at a time please. Be strategic, be creative; you are designing the puzzle for posterity.

Update 2012 Jan 05 09:30 (05:30 UTC)
Future updating of the originally posted question that changes the spirit or intent of the original are not permitted.
Updating to jump the queue will result in both the original and the update being ignored.
If you want to change your question, delete the old log and post a new question.
Minor tweeks to the original are OK.


Once the cache has been found, there will be no more questions answered.

Since I will only answer one question per day, it does not make sense for you to "stack up" questions. If there's already an unanswered question, it's best to let yours wait until there's an opportunity, at which time you could ask a more specific one. First come first served, based on the order in which the notes were posted.

FTF gets Timmies on me.
