Ode To Delkan Mystery Cache

Diehard50248: The final location was cleared out by the city. I'm letting this one go. My only goal for this cache was to entertain Delkan. It worked. Thank you to those that actually solved it.

Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates


For those of you that don't know my good friend and fellow geocacher Delkan1066, let me be the first to tell you...
...he's different.

He's a collegiate national champion, a math tutor, an extreme distance runner, a coach, a devoted husband and father, a Peter Pan fanatic, and as if that wasn't enough...he eats puzzle caches for breakfast. If you're a movie buff, think of Delkan as A Beautiful Mind, Goodwill Hunting, and Forrest Gump all rolled into one (heavy on the Gump).

For several months now Delkan1066 has been giving me daily updates on all of his geocaching adventures. Why you ask? Is it because he basically has no friends? Perhaps. Is it because I'm the only one that will listen? Probably. Is it because he prefers to hang out with people taller than him? Hard to say (since everyone is taller than him). The theories are numerous but I think I know the real reason; it’s because I’m the sorry sucker that introduced the Kan-man to geocaching. That's right folks, it was my fault. How was I to know that teaching him the finer details of puzzle solving was like throwing gas on the fire of his highly analytical mind? Back to the daily updates…What Del doesn’t know is that during his lengthy geo-ramblings I have been secretly building a "Top Ten" list of his most hated puzzle cache traits. I decided to use this list as a starting point for my latest puzzle cache.
