Shopaholic (KPC2013) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to obtain the location of the cache.

Traveling Ladybug loves to shop. Even more than geocaching (if you can believe that). Maybe some of you have spouses that love to shop as well. Now, at least, you can find a geocache along the way!

Special Notes about the 2013 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, and even that might not happen in the right order). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this cache: Apparently premium member caches no longer show on the map; so I had to find a new hide and redo the puzzle at the last minute.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
