Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen... Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

xenergyx: I have moved out of the area and from the accounts of other cachers it is likely that this one is toast.

Without any chance to check up on it I am choosing to archive to free up the area.

Geocache Description:

Recently I committed an act of bad cacher karma... Yup, I posted a needs maintenance on a cache that was there the whole time. I felt quite foolish as I had simply misunderstood a perfect hint!

This cache is my first act of karmic cache retribution!

To make it easy for you, here are the coordinates:

N 10° 10.662 W 122° 40.309

Woah wait a second, this isn't a 5x5 cache! Those coords are way too bogus to be where the cache is located! I promise the cache is within 2 miles of the starting coordinates! You need to convert the given coordinates using same thing I used to create them!

It shouldn't be too hard as you've already got everything you need to solve this one in your geocaching toolbox! No handheld calculator or advanced math required. Not much of all is necessary actually! Once you convert the coordinates, just look hard and you will see where I hid the cache!

So far I haven't seen someone give the location away like this...

The coords are pretty soft, in fact my GPS was having major fits and was only getting 2 of 4 signal bars. I took many averaged readings and then averaged those. When you are getting close just follow the hint here and on certitude...

The hike to GZ can be easy or hard depending on how you go. The last push to the cache is pretty steep and off the established trail. Perhaps during some times of the year you may get wet on the way to this one? I have yet to see. You don't have to climb a tree to get to GZ, but I bet you could climb a tree right to it! Hmmm...

The GZ I picked may be a bit unsual, out of the way, and sort of a pain to get to, but I found it unique and interesting to see these up close!


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
