Geocache Description:

This is the cache that was put together at the Arizona Geocacher's Picnic that was held on November 3, 2001. The prize for winning the waypoint hunt was placing the picnic cache. Read all the way through before hunting, the listed coordinates are not the real ones. The original cache was moved on March 1st with the original cache page being archived. You can see old logs by examining waypoint GC266C. The old cache was archived because the terrain changed with the new location.

Everyone attending the picnic put something in. The cache is a 50 caliber ammo can, painted green and with a green geocaching sticker on one side.

In order to find the cache, you will have to find the answers to four questions. The four numerical answers will be used to modify the listed coordinates which will then take you to the cache. Each question is answerable on the web.

A: What year did the Battle of Agincourt take place?

B: What year was it in King Arthur's Court when a Connecticut Yankee arrived?

D: What year did Geronimo surrender at Skeleton Canyon?

E: How many rushing touchdowns did Walter Payton score during his NFL career?

Take answer A and subtract answer B from it, this gives you value C (A - B = C). Take answer D and add answer E, this gives you value F (D + E = F).

Take false coordinate N 33° 11.993 and subtract value C to get the correct N value.

Take false coordinate W 111° 35.971 and add value F to it to get the correct West value.

Please do not place used tennis or golf balls or "adult" items in the cache.
