Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT AT THE COORDINATES ABOVE.
Solve The Puzzle Below To Reveal The Cache's Coordinates

Recently, a boxer turned motivational speaker spoke at my school on success. To be successful, he said, you not only have to think outside of the box, but you have to persevere. Despite enduring 105 black eyes in the oddly small ring, he was still able to make a 180° flip to emerge victorious. If you can solve this puzzle, you'll be well on your way to decoding his message. Good Luck!

Once the puzzle has been solved, your training has just begun. The final location is hidden in a well known area for most, so please exercise extreme caution when finding and replacing the container. You are looking for a 30cal ammo can. REHIDE WELL! Despite my best effort to obtain the most accurate coordinates, this area is victim to some GPS subjectivity, but the hint should point you where to go. As always, exercise extreme caution when seeking this cache. A smiley on your map is not worth a broken leg... or worse. Happy caching!
