Geocache Description:

That crazy couple from Webb City, who go by the geo name woodnblock quietly passed 10,000 geocaches, being the first from the Joplin area to hit that milestone.  So this easy puzzle cache is to commemorate their accomplishment.


First, do not go to the posted coordinates - they are bogus.  Instead, you need to answer two questions in order to fill in these coordinates:

N37 08.AAA W094 30.BBB

You will need to look at woodnblock's first and 10,000th geocaches (which were both Virtuals):

Their 10,000th cache was GCC41A

  • If GCC41A is in Kentucky, then AAA = 680
  • If GCC41A is in Indiana, then AAA = 380
  • If GCC41A is in Ohio, then AAA = 180

Look at their profile and find their first geocache

  • If their first geocache was in Webb City, then BBB = 038
  • If their first geocache was in Joplin, then BBB = 438
  • If their first geocache was in Bronaugh, then BBB = 838

Once you have completed the coordinates, proceed to the final.  You are looking for a suspended silver pill bottle about 6 feet up.  You will need to bring your own pencil. Parking should not be a problem.
