Geocache Description:


     

surprisesurprisesurprisesurprisesurprise

This cache is not located at the posted coordinates. 

If you know anything about me, you know that I have an intense, irrational phobia of water towers. It's a long story involving the water tower known as Burnett's Mound and its involvement in the 1966 F5 tornado that tore a diagonal path of destruction through Topeka from southwest to northeast. I was a precocious three-year-old when the tornado went through town. We'll just leave it at that.  

I have had to face feelings of sheer terror many times in my caching experiences, because for some (sick!) reason, geocachers just LOVE placing caches by water towers. angry  Several of my friends in the geocaching community poke fun at me due to my weirdness.  Flatland Reviewer himself has texted me up close photos of water towers several times over the years, and W.T. Evil, a geocache placed east of Topeka, was put out to subtly tease yours truly.  fuerte24 texted me a photo of a water tower and water tower shaped geocache just today!  surprise

You will need to match the wacky water towers below to the Kansas town they are located in and use the letter/number combination to determine the true coordinates for the cache. 

The cache is located at N 38º 5A.BCD W 095º 4E.FGH.  Happy caching to you and yours!
