Geocache Description:

Don't go to the posted Coordinates... that's not where the cache is.

The posted coordinates will just take you to a trash dumpster... that's not right... is it???

 


Oscar the Grouch... I think he is just misunderstood.

If you want to find out where Oscar is really living now, you will need to answer some questions in order to solve for his coordinates.

 

The correct coordinates are as follows:

N 36 2A.BC2    W 94 1D.EF0

 

A = What show is Oscar originally from?

     1 - Sesame Street

     3 - The Electric Company

     4 - The Muppets

     6 - The Bloodhound Gang

B = During the First Season of the Show, What color was Oscar

     3 - Blue

     4 - Purple

     6 - Orange

     7 - Yellow

C = What is the name of Oscar's Pet?

    3 - Wormy

    6 - Stripey

    8 - Slimey

    9 - Skinny

D = Who is Oscar's original and lifelong pupetter?

     1 = Jim Henson

     3 = Caroll Spinney

     6 = Jim Jartin

     8 = Paul McGinnis

E = What is Oscar's Birthday?

    1 = May 15

    3 = June 1

    5 = June 15

    9 = July 5

F = What is the name of the Trash Man who sometimes carries Oscar?

    3 - Larry

    5 - Terry

    8 - Steve

    0 - Bruno

Once you have the correct answers, the coordinates should lead you to a location that looks like Oscar could probably be living there. You will not have to climb inside of any trash containers to find the geocache.

Permission has been granted for placement of this geocache.

Have fun and enjoy the hunt!!
