Team MisterE Hits 1000 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

bd's: I just checked on this cache, and looks like it's missing. Due to recent changes made to the Groundspeak website it is no longer possible to solve the puzzle, so I don't see any reason to replace it. It's unfortunate that Groundspeak continues to make changes that must help them make more money to the detriment of the game.

Geocache Description:

This is a golden ammo can for Team MisterE's 1000th find.  His 1000th find was his first (and only) webcam so far.  He is my brother, and he was visiting me in Erie when he reached this milestone.


Team MisterE has reached 1000 finds, and I was privledged to be with him when he made the big find - a webcam in the Erie area ( GCN8GZ ).  He does this for fun, not numbers, which is probably the way it should be.  He has worked long and hard to make it to this point, and he deserves this golden ammo can.

I decided to make this a mystery type cache.  To find the coordinates just solve the simple puzzle below.

DO NOT GO TO THE GIVEN COORDINATES!!!  YOU WILL NOT FIND A GEOCACHE THERE, AND YOU MIGHT GET WET!!!


The final is at: N 42 04.ABC  W 076 03.DEF

A ~ On 7-22-15 Team MisterE found some earthcaches in the Erie area.  One of the titles contains a hyphenated word.  A is the total number of letters in the hyphenated word.

B ~ The 3rd virtual cache that Team MisterE found is one of my all time favorite virtuals.  It's too bad that it has been archived.  B is the last numeral in the GC code for that virtual cache.

C ~ Look at the 5th multicache that Team MisterE found.  The day of the month that he found it is a 2 digit number.  Add those 2 digits together.  C is the sum of those 2 digits.

D ~ On 6-1-16 Team MisterE was visiting me in Erie, and he found several mystery caches.  One of them has a one word name with 15 letters in the cache name.  The GC code only contains 1 digit.  D is that one digit.

E ~ E is the number of letters in the name of the owner of the cache where Team MisterE got his 1000th find.

F ~ F is the number of words in the cache name of the first letterbox hybrid cache that Team MisterE has found.

Have fun with this cache, and give the honoree the chance to get an FTF here.  Thanks.
