Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates, you must solve the puzzle below to find the true coordinates.

The cache is in a Pre-Approved Open Fairfax County Park, therefore Night Caching is Strictly Prohibited.

This is a Tribute Cache to Two000miler whose Intersection Puzzles caused many sleepless nights, countless headaches, and hurt hands upon finally seeing the solution.


A few weeks ago we received an email from Two000miler's good friends, Boopsy and Bijoux, wanting to know if we would help them hide a cache in honor of him. They had contributed to many of his puzzles and wanted one for him to solve and find. The thought of maybe just a couple of minutes of frustration was too good to pass on. They wanted us to use some of the places that caching had taken us over the last seven years.

The cache can be found at:

North 38

(Anchorage, AK) (Mount Washington, NH) (Colby, KS) (Las Vegas, NV) (Grayson, GA) (Traverse City, MI)



West 077

(Woodville, NY) (Portland, OR) (Overland Park, KS) (San Antonio, TX) (Key West, FL) (Asheville, NC)




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


Each cache in the TRIBUTES17 can be found individually, but make sure you collect the clue inside. You'll need it to find the TRIBUTES17 BONUS! Each 3 letter digit character clue is hidden in plain sight in each container and is in the format "Z = A1!". More details can be found on the Bonus cache page GC7CXFE.


Shamelessly borrowed from Two000miler's cache page:

And once again, for those who already have one or more FTFs, if you could please wait 24 hours, then we can share the FTF wealth. Once the log is written into the first time, all bets are off. I cannot enforce that request but I will ask nicely. And if it weren't my cache, I would have to wait also.

Of course, since this is a Northern Virginia cache, the usual warnings apply: Heed all signs, watch for pedestrian traffic, and don't wear brown shoes with a blue suit.
