Cluster of Tels Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

GotBoots?wv: I think this cache has run its course and just needs to be archived. The initial stepping stones have grown over and the hiding spot has deteriorated to not be feasible anymore. I may look for another idea for a cache in that area, but, by archiving it, it will free up the area for another cacher to place a cache in that area, too. <Boots>

Geocache Description:

In a cluster of travel rest stops, I found that there wasn’t a cache anywhere in the immediate area for travelers to be able to easily have a nearby cache to find. So, I fixed that. This cache would normally be a fairly quick park and grab, but now it's a little bit more challenging. I’ve enjoyed the challenges of most of the local puzzle and mystery caches that I’ve attempted, so I tried to fashion this cache like some of the local puzzle caches and made it a two-stage cache.

At the posted coordinates, you can relax and figure out where the second stage is. There are some stepping stones (not the square ones) leading up to where you are relaxing in the little park at the flag pole. So, follow these instructions carefully to get the coordinates of the actual cache:

1) Count the stepping stones, multiply that count by four, then add one to that number.  Add that result to the decimal part of the posted North coordinate,

2) Now, take the stepping stone count and double it, then subtract six from that number. Add that result to the decimal part of the West coordinate, and . . . . .

3) Good Luck!!  The final is a short walk away.  

I moved the final location due to too many muggles hanging around the original GZ area, so this is a redux cache but kept on the same listing. You’re looking for a small lock-n-lock container with room for smaller swag and small travel bugs. Please use stealth and be mindful of mugglers around!! The cache contains a small pencil, but BYOP to be safe. There's a small bonus for the new FTF.

CONGRATS to wvmikiepar for being the original FTF!!!

CONGRATS to proy79 and P-Six for being the co-FTF's on the redux!!!
