Geocache Description:


Different things encourage each one of us. As a kid I was in a gifted learning class and was encouraged to memorize a certain NUMBER to the ONE HUNDREDTH place! What was the carrot to draw me to this madness? M&M pieces. To the 25th place you would get 25 M&M pieces, but to the 100th place 10 M&M packages! To this day I still can recite to the 26th place.

To get to this cache, you need to solve a puzzle related to the number that I memorized as a child to find the TRUE coordinates. 

The motivation to even go get a cache like this has nothing to do with the small cammoed pill bottle NOR will you receive any candy for your efforts; it has to do with a desire to get outside and move! 

Here are 10 known motivational benefits for exercise: 

    1) Lifts your mood 
    2) Keeps your body fit & able 
    3) Boosts your immune system 
    4) Keeps your brain fit (and so does solving puzzles!) 
    5) Improves skin tone and color 
    6) Has anti-aging effects 
    7) Reduces stress 
    8) Improves sleeping patterns 
    9) Boosts productivity 
    10) Alleviates anxiety. 

An added encouragement is there are several other caches along the way, but if you've gotten them like many locals already have, you still have a reason to walk (or geo-bike) for ONE more smiley!

North 38° - 19th place, 20th place. 13th place, 9th place, 25th place
