Geocache Description:


*THIS GEOCACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!*

You have to solve a quick puzzle to find the final location of where the cache is hidden. The answers to these questions can be found on Wikipedia in a quick search. This puzzle is about the history of billboards and fun facts!

The cache is located at: N 39° 25.ABC W 76° 20.DEF

A: The number of letters in the British name for a billboard.

B: The second number in the year when the first scented billboard was displayed. 

C: The first number of the year when Brazil issued a billboard ban. 

D: The second number in the year when the earliest billboard rentals were available.

E: The number of uses for a billboard MINUS ONE.

F: The first number in how many states eliminated billboard advertising of cigarettes. 

The cache: At GZ, the terrain is very swampy and wet. Make sure you don't get your socks wet! The container blends in very well with its surroundings. It is too small to hold a writing utensil to BYOP. There is a pull-off from Pulaski Highway where you park your car legally. Be stealthy when searching around and be aware of muggles in their vehicles. Enjoy and CACHE ON!
