Geocache Description:


CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES!! Many cachers have signature items. This cache celebrates those. Hope you have been paying attention to these because this cache involves solving a puzzle based on signature items that I have found in Arizona caches (mostly for Arizona Cachers) to determine the true coordinates for this cache.

04/03/2021 Original ammo can stolen. Cache is now a camoed cookie tin. Can't have nice things.

1. Assemble jigsaw puzzle.

2. After assembling the puzzle, count up the number of letters in each cacher name. Do not count spaces, punctuation, or numbers.

3. Coordinates are in the format below.

N 33° A B . C D E

W 112° F G . H I J

4. Calculate the coordinates below substituting the number of letters in each cacher name in the formula below. Example: The signature item with the number 22 on it belongs to ILuvAZ (Hey! That's me!) so Cacher 22 = 6.

A = Cacher 26 - Cacher 18 + Cacher 2
B = Cacher 5 + Cacher 12 - Cacher 14
C = Cacher 21 - Cacher 23 + Cacher 6 - Cacher 11 - Cacher 22
D = Cacher 19 - Cacher 17
E = Cacher 15 + Cacher 12 - Cacher 16
F = Cacher 20 - Cacher 3
G = Cacher 13 - Cacher 25 - Cacher 8 + Cacher 18
H = Cacher 9 - Cacher 7 - Cacher 4 + Cacher 8
I = Cacher 10 - Cacher 1
J = Cacher 18 - Cacher 24


This cache may not be everyone's cup of tea. It will be more time consuming than hard. If you stick with it, the coordinates should be fairly easy to calculate. I'm sure I missed a few cacher's signature items - but that could be another cache!




Congrats on your FTF!

Congratulations to jcanyoneer for the F2F!!
