Geocache Description:

For 2016 I decided I would try to place a series around the Pittsburgh area consisting of 81 caches, one of each of the 81 Difficulty/Terrain combinations. I have seen another series like this in the Virginia Beach area and thought it was a good idea. The series will consist of all 81 combinations as well as different cache types.


Do not go to the posted coordinates. This is in the middle of the street and there is no cache there. The cache is nearby though. In order to find the final container coordinates you will have to help me with something. I found this VIN plate in my garage and I can't remember what the specs for the car are! If you can correctly decode the VIN shown in the photo, you will be rewarded with the final cache coordinates.
