Hey Buddy! Hey Buddy! Congratulations!
There is no container to find at the posted coordinates. There is a puzzle of sorts to be solved in order to secure the coordinates for the cache container.
Buddy (of EggSilent4 fame) has crossed over into the land of 5 digits! Well done, my friend! Like many of us, Buddy has had other hobbies, but geocaching is steadily encroaching on them. One of his favorite sayings is, "the best time to cache is when you can."
Work the puzzle (this can be done with moderate sleuthing and without bothering him), find the cache, and congratulate Buddy on his achievement in your log. You can use any old pen, but he would prefer a big black or red Sharpie.
This cache is about Buddy and his family and the achievement of their 10,000th find.

The final container is an ammo can well hidden off trail and is within 10 miles of the posted coordinates. It is up to you to solve the puzzle and find your way to the cache. The difficulty takes into consideration the puzzle, the lack of a geochecker and parking coordinates, the hide style, no hints, etc. The terrain rating is reasonably accurate based on this area of the world.
I hope you enjoy it, and more importantly, I hope Buddy does too.
