Fox Hunt Multi-Cache

AstroFox placed some of my favorite caches. When I began thinking about this cache my goal was to see if it would lure the Fox out of his den. At my first River City Geocaching and Dining Society (RCGDS) Event, Hynr informed me that AstroFox had recently lost his battle with cancer. Instead of bait I sadly place this cache as a memorial to AstroFox.

Many caches are interchangeable. Other caches become favorites because of a unique container, interesting location, tricky puzzle or clever hide. One of the last people to find ANLPC (GC19GCF) describes it as brilliant but in need of maintenance. I found a small remnant; a torn ziplock with a tiny scrap from the log. Can somebody resurrect it? (since publication of this cache ANLPC has been archived. There's now a neat new cache in the general vicinity.)

This is a 4 stage multicache. Each stage brings you near an AstroFox cache. Two of these are now archived, I was able to find and perform needed maintenance on a third and a fourth had been flagged as needing maintenance because of a missing stage 1. I found both stages in pristine condition and was able to get one of the reviewers to remove the flag. While you are near these caches, check them out.

Although I didn’t start geocaching until after AstroFox passed away, I have had the pleasure of finding some of his well done caches. Hopefully others will have the same pleasure for years to come.

Stage 2: You are looking for a coordinate cache.

Stage 3: You will find a sign with three sets of three numbers. Call the digits in the third number DEF. The final is at N 38 33.(D*E)(D*E)(F). You will find a second sign with a cloud filled with words. Convert the first three letters of the second word to digits GHJ. The final is at W 121 47.(G*E)(H/E)(J/E).

Congratulations to douggeo on his FTF!
