The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
This is the home I was living when I was born on February 13, 1960. I have no memories of the house other than the photos my father had taken with me and my siblings. See the photo I uploaded. I had some contacts that gave me the name and phone number of the current owner, to which I called him and introduced myself and explained what I was doing. After telling him that I’d like to hide the cache there, he replied” Well, I dont see any harm in that!” My wife and I drove by this house on our trip from California to Colorado. It was a pleasure meeting him and placing my first cache.
This is a puzzle to introduce you to this quaint little town known as Helper. Wiki is your friend.
