Geocache Description:

bd's got his 10,000th cache in April 2015 with a visit to the Niagara Falls area to do an Earthcache (GC5M651). He says that Earthcaches are his favorite type of cache, but he owns almost 100 "unknown" caches, so I tend to think he likes those the best! He has more "challenge" caches in the Erie area than everyone else combined, and he likes a good puzzle, too, so I had to make this cache into a puzzle for him. If you've solved his puzzles before, this one should be an easy one!


The above listed coordinates are where I parked when I hid the cache. To get the actual coordinates of the cache, solve for the (missing) numbers below (YES, It's MATH!)

N42 06. (b+1) (d-2) (s-14)

W079 59. (d) (s)

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

PLEASE NOTE THE TERRAIN RATING!!!! It is rated a 4.5 for a reason. There is a very steep hill here and a cliff very close to the path that you will follow most of the way to the cache. Be very careful here! If you're not comfortable with the potential danger of the area, PLEASE do not attempt this!!! This is not a kid friendly cache! DO NOT attempt this when there is ice/snow in the area or right after a rainfall. [ OR DURING A MONSOON... I won't name names, but a couple of guys almost ended up way down the creek doing this at the wrong time!] Wet leaves can make the area tough to navigate, and watch out for those acorns, too!

The cache itself is a 50 cal. ammo can, stocked with a few items initially (keychains, a micro container, lots of first aid items and glow sticks: important stuff if you're stuck on a hill!) There are some coupons for McD's and Hortons in there at the moment - please take them if you want them or remove them if you are there after they have expired.

Please rehide and secure the cache well! PLEASE NO NIGHT CACHING IN THIS AREA!!!

CONGRATS bd's on reaching 10,000! An impressive number for someone who's only been caching a little over 5 years! I've enjoyed caching with you and always enjoy your hides.

Congrats to TPrints for the FTF! (The next time I hide a cache in bd's honor, I will make sure he's not on a plane to VEGAS!)
