Cache description :

  • In order to find this cache, you need a number that is located at the coordinates for cache GC51V2A, which is located in Tokyo. You will need to either travel to Tokyo or team up with a Foreign Exchange Cacher to get the information you need to find this cache in Bakersfield.

Rules :

  • Cachers can go to this link and post a note that they are looking for a Foreign Exchange Cacher to help them get the number that they need in Tokyo.
  • You will then go to the posted coords for this cache to get information to help your Foreign Exchange Cacher find the cache in their area (example: The Bakersfield Cacher will go to the coords post on the this cache page and get the number that will help the Tokyo cacher find the Tokyo-Bakersfield Foreign Exchange Program cache in Tokyo) and vice versa.
