Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. After you solve the puzzle, please actually go GET the cache! No stealth required. Favorite points appreciated! Have fun, be careful, and enjoy!


Can you imagine a time before the convenience of interstates? To get from Birmingham to New Orleans takes 5 hours via interstate. Before interstates, the trip took more than 8 hours by highway!

Unfortunately, this added convenience comes at a price. Highways were the key to the economies of small towns and the interstate system is responsible for the collapse of many. Solve the puzzle and find your way to the cache using your choice of interstate or highway.

Here's the puzzle:

25271 > 23060
59912 > 55810
77904 > 76711
79072 > 73446
55025 > 54541
87551 > 87401
12919 > 12870
35960 > 35901

The cache is full of swag that should help you find your way.

Are you lost?
