This cache has been archived.

pwesleynd93: This cache has been damaged, presumably by muggles. I decided to archive it, and perhaps repair it and return it a future date. I appreciate all of the cachers that enjoyed it enough to give it a Favorite Point!

Geocache Description:


This cache is being placed in association with the NoVA Chapter of the Military Association of GeoCachers (MAGC) which has resumed their monthly events held nearby.

YOU MUST SIGN THE LOG TO CLAIM IT AS FOUND! NO PEN? NO EXCUSE!

About the cache: It’s obvious that this cuckoo clock did not pass the quality control check at the factory. Once you get near the coordinates it will be easy to spot the container. Getting to the log, however, might take some time. Your task is to figure out the four numbers needed to open the lock and get to the log. Once you identify them, put the numbers in ascending order and you’ll have the combination that you need. Remember, you must sign the log to claim this as “Found”. BE SURE THE LOCK IS PROPERLY SECURED BEFORE YOU LEAVE.

Street parking is available very close to GZ. It is available 24/7 but be alert and careful if caching at night. I recommend looking for this during daylight hours only.  You'll need to negotiate a bit of a slope so be caerful if the ground is wet. It could be slippery. Also, it's located a short distance into the woods so be alert to PI and ticks during the appropriate seasons. It's within sight of passing muggles, so be sure to be stealthy.

 If you haven't found the caches in the MAGC series, they are all fairly close by, so I hope you take the time to check them out.
