Geocache Description:




I recently received three clown figurines for free, courtesy of my local Buy Nothing FaceBook group. They reminded me of a long gone ad with the famous “Free for Free“ tag line. I really liked the idea of my clowns somehow keeping the memory alive with their own puzzle cache.

If you are over 30 you may remember the ad, if not here it is again for you to enjoy and to also note the date on which the advertised offer ended AB/CD/EF:

Use the numbers obtained to determine the cache coordinates and the combination of the FIRST lock:

G = 2xA
HA+C+D
I A+4xF
J = 2xB+2xC+2xD
K = 3xE
L C+D+5xF

Checksum G+H+I+J+K+L= 29


Cache coordinates: S37 50.GHI E145 12.JKL
FIRST lock combination: GHIJ


At GZ you will need to solve a field puzzle to open the SECOND lock and access the log book.


With thanks to sharkiefan for donating the final cache container and contents
