Geocache Description:


Special thanks to Col Mustard for permission to copy this puzzle!

Wouldn't it be cool if you could get the real puzzle coordinates by phoning a friend, kind of like using your lifeline on the TV shows?

How could this be you ask? Well with the power of the modern personal computer, you can now combine dual tones and multiple frequencies to replicate the signalling used by telephones.

I found some well known celebrities that have lent their voice to this endeavor to promote its use.



The first message is from Oliver North. Ollie is best known for his involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair. Currently, he is an American conservative political commentator, host of "War Stories with Oliver North" on Fox News Channel. He probably wants your take on his next TV story. Yea, that’s probably it. Really, just listen for the north coordinate.

Alert: You are about to link to an audio file in order to obtain further details needed to find this geocache. As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to listen to although the files needed to complete this geocache have not been checked by Groundspeak or by the Geocache Reviewer for possible malicious content. As a result, you are connecting to this file at your own risk.

You can reach Ollie at ## ##.###



The next message is from Jerry West. Jerry is a retired American basketball player who played his entire professional career for the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers. He more than likely has court side seats for the up-coming Lakers games and wants to invite you to sunny California. LOL. Again, just pretend you’re interested so he’ll reveal the west coordinate.

You can reach Jerry at ### ##.###
