Geocache Description:


This is my first ever mystery cache and it is indeed not at the posted coordinates! But to solve for the coordinates you will need to browse through my (DIK22DAK's) profile page on GEOCACHING.COM. You can also refer to this cache page with the information below. The difficulty for the cache isn't the puzzle. The puzzle is about a 1.5 difficulty and the final is about a 2.0. Not to mention I also provided a solution checker at the bottom of the cache page. 

Hello,

I am DIK22DAK I created my Geocaching Account on August 3rd, 2024 but I actually found my first cache on July 17th, 2024 (7/17/24) while I was on vacation in Kauai over the summer. My first month of caching wasn't great as I only found 10 caches in that month but, I instantly knew I would fall in love with this hobby. Since then I have found many caches and I hope to find many, many, more! I also visited Geocaching Headquarters while I was up visiting family on December 30th, 2024. Not only do I enjoy finding caches I absolutely enjoy hiding caches. I only hide caches that I would enjoy finding. You will probably never see me hide an LPC as I hate finding LPC's but I enjoy one every once and awhile. And to be aware this final will not be an LPC. This is not my first hide. My first hide was actually on August 7th, 2024 which was GCAW8D7. I plan to hide a lot more caches with that one as well. 

You can find the cache at N 33 35.ABC W 117 43.DEF by answering the questions for the corresponding letters below. I even added links so it is easier for you guys :)

A- The number of characters in DIK22DAK's username MINUS 2? (Refer to this cache page)

B- How many sixes were in the GC Code of DIK22DAK's first hide; Recycled Water Do Not Drink? (Link To Cache Page)
