Geocache Description:


I first met hankpixie on Leap Day in 2016 when he was in New York City and saw I had an event planned for that evening.  He was not going to be able to attend due to work obligations, so we met up near Madison Square Garden on lunch so he could get the coin from my event.  Since then, he has been one of my good geo-friends and we try to meet up anytime work brings him out to my area.

Besides geocaching, he and I also share a love of the great game of hockey.  Nothing quite like that horn sound and flashing red light when one of your guys puts one in the back of the net!  I bet hankpixie probably even hears that sound each time he finds a new cache, which now has reached 20,000 times!

As a tribute to his milestone and because he is worthy of the monacher that I bestow upon other cacher friends of mine (One Of The Good Guys) in a little series that I have back on Long Island, I decided to put this puzzle cache out for him.  A HUGE thank you goes out to msmandi for helping make this cache happen as she was my cacher on the ground who set up the hide and final coords.

The following puzzle is one that should be near and dear to hankpixie's heart. While it might not rank up there with greatest puzzles of all time (or in Columbus for that matter), it is pretty appropriate for this tribute.

Please allow hankpixie to get the FTF on this one.  It shouldn't take him long.
