Flip the Switch Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Room1009: It appears that the cache location will be bulldozed for the landscaping. I will archive it now and try to place a new cache using the same container. Thanks to everyone who found this and especially thank you for all the favorite points. Flip the Switch will be back!

Geocache Description:

Flip the Switch


UPDATE JUNE 30, 2016: Disabled because of road construction scheduled to last until November, 2016. I'll keep an eye on the location will enable the cache if the location remains viable.

UPDATE AUGUST 20, 2014: The dinosaur has been moved! The cache is still in place and can still be found by solving the puzzle. It does appear that there will be some major construction here, and the cache may have to be relocated in the future.

Congratulations to hartsdale for his gazillionth FTF

These are my first attempts at puzzle caches. There are two caches in this series. You will need to find this one before you can find the second one. This is not a difficult hide, but it will take a little more time than most traditional caches.

Cache is not at the posted coordinates, but is nearby. Cache is not on private property and not on the property of any businesses. Once you locate the cache you will need a code before you can flip the switch. You will find the code in the vicinity of the cache. Turn the dial three complete turns to the right and stop at the first number, turn one complete turn to the left then continue to the second number, turn to the right and stop at the third number.

UPDATE Nov. 18, 2013. There is no need to search far. The numbers you need to open the cache are within an arm's reach. The numbers are in the correct order.

This cache is wheelchair accessible.

To find the second cache in this series (Flip the Switch Again GC4D6Z5) you will need to get a clue from this cache.

Cache is a tupperware container inside of a larger container. Please make sure the lid is completely closed and everything is put back the way you found it.

To find the coordinates to the final cache answer the following questions:
N 38 2X.XXX W 105 1Y.YYY
XXXX = The year the Rolling Stones played their first gig + 4881
YYYY = The year the Stones released Flip the Switch - 428
Wikipedia is your friend.

Original cache contents include log, Mickey Mouse Travel Bug, Hot Wheels car, several old coins including a 1964 Kennedy half dollar, plus some miscellaneous stuff.
