cneumann98: Sadly, this cache has run its course. It was the first multi I ever hid and likely my favorite as well. Thanks to all who followed my silly puns through the four stages over the past decade!

Geocache Description:

This is a Dr. Seuss-inspired geocache with a twist. We all know the book "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" from our childhoods, but it struck me as funny that all of the adjectives in the title also have homophones. The cache location or item you are finding at each waypoint relates to these homophones. *As of June 28, 2023, the first stage is now virtual as the physical hide continually went missing. All other stages are physical*

At the posted coordinates, look for the details about the Howitzer. They are on the top back, right in the center. You will do some math using the posted coordinates. For the north coordinates, subtract 1139 from the CHAIN BELT CO. For the west coordinates, subtract 275 from the LBS.
