Geocache Description:

Gilligan provided me with many hours of entertainment after school back in the days when we had 4 channels and you actually walked to the TV to change the channel and relied on TV Guide.

Our little buddy has done it again. Help Gilligan save the castaways from a mighty storm that is sure to sink the Minnow unless you help guide them to an uncharted desert isle.

Solve the puzzle below.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates

A = The first broadcast episode was titled “_____ on a Raft”
B = When the SS Minnow left for the three-hour tour how many passengers were aboard?
C = Jim Backus played Thurston Howell ____? Now subtract one for the answer

G = During the opening credits of the first year how many castaways are NOT mentioned in the theme? CLICK HERE
