Geocache Description:


This cache was hidden for the Maryland Geocaching Society 2018 Summer Picnic.
The correct coordinates can be obtained by solving the puzzle, or completing the icebreaker sheet at the picnic.

I originally hid this cache as part of several MGS Summer Picnic hides. It was hidden under 5 or 6 good size rocks, but at the time of the dry run it was no longer in the hiding spot and was open with all the contents strewn about. I received a call that the cache was put back together as well as could be and re-hid about 5 feet away, in a nook, with a large flat rock in front of it. Fast forward 4 more days, and I went to check on it myself. After disturbing a family of large birds (the babies were so cute!), I approached the new and improved hiding spot to find the large flat rock moved and the cache about 3 feet away (but at least closed this time).

I found a note, pictured below, on the ground near the cache and I also found the number 667 scratched into the rock. I don’t think the birds did any of this, so the only other plausible explanation is….ALIENS! These must surely be the directions to something important…….
