Geocache Description:


UMU: Unusual Measurement Unit

Februaries are a joke. February 2021 was so snowy and cold and inconvenient that I found only four caches all month. I know many people found none. Most cachers seem to have found many fewer than was normal for them. In discussing what I am finding in March 2021, we have been saying things like, "That is 2 Februaries." It's a factor. It's a personal measurement unit. In my case, a February is 4. For the purposes of the puzzle, think 4 finds.

Container is not at posted coordinates. That's a good parking spot. You will carefully cross the street and hike north through the woods starting on the Poplar Grove Trail.

I planned to have the puzzle look at several cachers' histories, but only premium cachers can see such statistics. Plus, it felt like an invasion of people's privacy. So I include a picture of my caching history by month from 2011 to 2020 in the gallery.

Container is at N 39 56.ABC W 76 19.DEF where the letter values are how many Februaries I had in various months.

A = December 2017

B = January 2011

C = May 2017

D = April 2014

E = January 2019

F = August 2012 + October 2012

Container is a camo'd pill bottle hanging on a somewhat prominent tree The original hiding tree was demolished by logging. Then the second spot was demolished as well. Container was moved to current location October 14, 2024.
