Geocache Description:


12/03/2020: Revised the hint to add a bit of clarity. Also bumped the difficulty up a tad.

This cache is not at the posted coordinates. This is an easy puzzle and the final is a small camo'd magnetic tube.

Puzzle begins:

Geocaching is a great hobby/sport/activity/addiction!

1. It can be enjoyed by people of all ages, even people 5 years older or 5 years younger than you.

2. When you leave to find this one, you might have to drive 5 miles north, or maybe 5 miles south.

3. You might drive 5 MPH over the speed limit or 5 MPH under.

4. You might take 5 minutes more than the average cacher to solve this puzzle, or it may take you 5 minutes less.

5. Perhaps you'll have $5.00 more in your pocket than I did when I placed the container, or maybe $5.00 less.

6. I have a van with fairly decent gas mileage. Your geo-mobile may get 5 MPG more than mine, or maybe 5 MPG less.

7. It was a breezy day when I was looking for a hiding spot. When you're at GZ, the wind speed might be 5 MPH more than when I scouted out the location, or it may be 5 MPH less.

Puzzle ends.

Be sure to pull completely off the pavement into the adjacent parking.

 

Congrats to WadeH for the First-to-Find! And to VPPlayer for helping me fine-tune this one!
